Codyred Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Just wanted to update everyone who participated in my "RF-7II's And Krell S-300i Integrated" thread and provided me with helpful insight. I finally purchased a Krell S-300i to pair with the RF7II. It turned out to be a great purchase. I looked everywhere online for every post I could find about the integrated. I found a fellow at Audiogon who participates on several audio forums and owns the S-300i paired with the Wilson Sasha's. The Sasha is a true high end speaker with a retail price of $30k. He really liked the sound quality of this pairing and praised the S-300i. He knows high end gear and high end sound, based on the level of gear he is accustomed to. That pretty much clinched it for me. I also messaged another audiophile that owns the S-300i who characterized the S-300i as very close to having monoblocks. His description was convincing. The Krell brings the RF7 II's sound to a higher level, more than any integrated I used before. It has brought more of their transparency, clarity and much improved the bass as well. The RF7II's have become more resolving. Just for context, I have owned a number of integrateds with these speakers. I went back over old emails to put together the history. That history surprised me. Had the NAD M2, Yamaha AS2000, Harmon Kardon HK990, NAD C375BEE (still have), Anthem 225 (still have) and now the S-300i. I didn't realize there have been six of them since I bought the RF 7II's. The Krell has been a revelation. The folks in the past who wrote that similar amplifiers all sound the same just did not know. Also getting into fuses now which is a new frontier for me and they matter too and do affect the sound quality of components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no doubts when you mentioned the Krell S-300i and Klipsch RF-7II in the same sentence. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
