Showcase is a more "budget oriented" line of products, yes. THat has been the stated goal all along. As the "standard" line has increased in the cost, Krell wanted some products that fit into the lower price arena, and Showcase are those products.With respect to the amplifier specifics -- 3 boards would indicate the utilization of 3 stereo modules which would be "cheaper" than two stereos and a mono module from a manufacturing perspective.
The effect of the larger transformer and smaller capacitance remains to be seen. Krell has typically "overbuilt" so perhaps this is more in line with most others in the industry.
Time will tell what sonic compromises are made.
