With the Krell FPB 700cx, I can say with certainty that we have an amplifier that should find itself a permanent home in all but the most obsessive, tweaky and ultra-deep pocketed audiophile. I for one could easily retire with an FPB 700cx and never look back. Built with uncompromising attention to detail and backed by a company that is in the game for the long haul, not an insignificant point in these troubled economic times, the FPB 700cx finds itself on a very short list of candidates in the super-amp category. Capable of truly engaging sound, the FPB 700cx always kept my attention pointed were it should be, connected to the excitement and life of the music. While some designs and technologies may focus their attention on perfecting a particular part of the musical spectrum, few can match the FPB 700cx’s ability to blend its overall sonic strengths into what is a singular musical experience.
