Krell EVO-1, FPB-750MCX or EVO-900


HI all,

Would like any feedbacks in upgrading or to stay put...
I currently have a pair of krell FPB-750MCX with Evo-202 pre driving Revel Salons ( 86db @6ohms). Love the current sound but have the itch to upgrade either the Ev0-1 ( 450W ) or the Evo-900 and worried if the Evo-1 having less power will not able to drive the Salons properly. Ive been told the Evo-1 will do the job OK and sound much better that the EVO-900 since it's Class A compared to the 900's in Class A/B but my 750MCX are also in Class A.
Just don't want to make a mistake so any help here appriciated.
Cheers in advance.

Short of actually listening, it would help to know how much power you're actually drawing now out of your 750's.

How loud do you listen, how big and sound-absorbent is your room, and how far from the speakers do you sit? The Revels are power-hungry, but 450 conservative watts would probably be more than enough in a lot of situations.

If you don't know what kind of power you need, you can get a Radio Shack sound level meter, and just do the math (or post the readings and someone can tell you what kind of power you're using).
