Krell Restoration

BTW, Krell does not use oceanair anymore, they use Fedex frieght, this method has the best tracking out of all other method's, I recommend useing them to send your amp to who you desire.

Thank you all for your thoughtful help.

Hi Dderham1948 - I just saw your post. Just a few additional comments.

When you say "its been 15 years of hard use" it tells a lot.

Whether it goes back to Krell direct or not, may be dependent on the weight / distance / logistics. There is a crossover point when weight and distance can rule out sending to the manufacturer. In my case almost 200 lbs. I had no choice. A few friends and I are lucky as there is a certified past Krell tech in the Ontario L5B XXX postal code. This person has even worked on the $150K Krell Master Reference Amplifier. So when using local techs credentials are very important.

BTW - I could not confirm from your post.
When you say 802s do you mean two (plural) B&W matrix series or other series of B&W 802's ?

The FPB series has real synergy with the 800 series matrix line. My generation krell 600 was chosen due to the synergy with my reference matrix 800 speakers. The same ones used by Dan D'Agostino when his main system was FPB series with matrix 800. He liked the 800 series matrix line so much that he designed his own Krell built to B&W spec Bass Alignment Filters.

I just got off the phone with Dan recently and he gave me some more tweaks for my system if I ever get tired of listening to music. :^)
Very open and easy to talk with. I encourage you to call him at 480-575-3069 in Arizona. He may know someone qualified in your own backyard if sending the amp back to Patrick at Krell becomes a no go.

Cheers and Good Luck.

Hi ct0517, can you share some of the tweak's Dan D Agostino shared with you, I have talked to him myself on the phone over the last few month's, do tell please.

Yes, a FPB-200 with a pair of Matrix 802s S3.

Live is Nor Calif., know of no one Krell certified here.
Any experience with the KRC-3? also 15 years of hard use. Should I have the caps replaced on it?

Ct0517. Front of Matrix woofer is partially separated from the speaker. May only need to be glued, don't know yet.
Anyone know of a hidden stash of Matrix drivers? Willing to pay.

Is FedEx Freight different and safer than the FedEx that ruined Jsd52756's KSA-200 (above)?
