Power Cables for Krell FPB300


Looking for insights and first hand experience with various 20amp power cables on the Krell FPB300 amp. I just made a deal to buy one with stock cord included. None of my personal inventory of cables have 20amp IEC, so I am wondering about people's experiences with the stock cord and others. Hoping to spend less than $500 used/demo etc. and not averse to using the stock cable if it would make sense. I know that rarely does, but since Krell occasionally made the power cables captive, perhaps they felt that the stock cables are more than just a low cost alternative. Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Spencer

Hi Spencer

The FPB series 300 and 600 models are 20 amp designs and should be used with 20 amp circuits if you want full power. This is made clear in the manual.

It was also made clear to me by one of my tech's who is a Krell specialist, and also in talking to Dan years ago.   

The reason IMO that Krell put a 15 AMP prong on the end of their stock cord (the part that goes into the wall ) was to be able to generate more sales.
