Hi Carl,
There is no Krell 300xi, only a S-300i. I have one (I use it in my Home Theater in HT bypass mode to drive my Thiel 2 2 rear speakers). It is well constructed and has the requisite high-current Krell power supply. The metal remote is nicer than any I have seen, much better than the metal one that came with my $11k Ayre K-1xe preamp.
There are several posts on here and/or on AudioAsylum about the S-300i and 400xi that you should read. Some owners prefer one, some prefer the other. Since I have not heard the 400xi, I will not offer an opinion on the comparative strengths of either.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!!
