Unsurprisingly, there’s a distinctive Krell family sound to the Connect – one that impresses and charms in equal measure. It’s no shrinking violet, so you don’t need to worry about falling asleep in the middle of your listening session. The powerful, percussive, fluid bass is a great help here, as Propaganda’s The Chase proves. The synth bass line modulates up and down with heady aplomb, sounding wonderfully untroubled by what is going on further up the frequency scale. At the same time, the Connect cuts through this track’s rather dense wash of synthesisers, throwing out loads of detail and a capacious soundstage. Treble is svelte and smooth too, and timed beautifully – the Krell manages to bring all of the music together in a believable, coherent and organic way.
