The weight reduction is due to their use of a newly developed sliding/adaptive output stage bias circuit which maintains Class A operation while operating at much higher efficiency. The new models also incorporate fans for cooling which further saves on size and weight by allowing smaller heat sinks to be used. Whether these new models sound as good as some of their more conventional Class A designs remains to be determined.
Honey I Shrunk The Krells
.
I just got back from the Krell website. Their largest new monoblock is rated at 575 wpc @ 8 ohms and weighs 85 lbs. That's about half the power rating and half the weight of their previous flagship monoblocks.
I've seen the trend in smaller amplifiers emerging...but not Krell too!
