In my limited experience the Classe is more like Rowland than Krell. If you are looking for everything you get with your Rowland, just more of it, I think Classe might make you happier. The Krell to me is a different sound, awesome bass and kind of bright. If you want to change to sound more along these lines, Krell would be more to your liking. By the way, if you do like the Rowland, have you considered one of their newer, larger amps?
Classe or Krell
Recently upgraded my speakers to B&W N802NC, powering them with a Jeff Rowland Model 2 amp. At low listening levels the Rowland is hard to beat Transparacy, air, 3-d. At higher listening levels when I'm playing classic rock or pop the amp doesn't have the control over the big Krells, Classe. Budget is a concern upgrade amps that I'm considering are FPB200C, FPB300c, Classe CA400,CA300,CA301. What should I do? Rest of system consist of BAT VK30se, Wadia 860x cd, transparent super speaker wires + xlr int, Cobra pc on the Wadia, 3 Richard G line conditioners, Quantun symphony Pro. PLease Help? cab
