Feedback: Krell KAV-300i integrated amp

can use i-Power ... i = imagination.

its too early for you to play around with viagra bro

It's never too early for viagra dude. In todays working environment full of stress and psycho bosses, erectile dysfunction is common among the young working class. Not implying anyone is working class but young and dysfunctional is common among our age group.

Ok, i've got a group purchase deal for i-Power. Taking orders now...

After stress, sure needs those K-power to boost the rest of the day...
But buying the K-power will require a heavy initial investment.
Way way more than Viagra and Stimulants...

Hi to all,

Stumbled accross this site and thread trying to find a download of the manual for a 300iL just purchased secondhand today.

It will come with the manual but wanted to read one while I wait so any help with a link would be appreciated

The seller contacted me tonight AFTER I had paid to point out that the remote control did not work on testing just before the final box up.

Now he says he has never used the remote in five years. He changed the battery but still no joy.

He is the second owner, original was in the USA.
He had it voltage changed in the UK by Krell at a cost of £500 GBP

I am wondering if something could of been disturbed when this work was xarried out?

Any thoughts other than a duff remote?
Will ask him tomorrow to see if the remote has an output using a camera to see the IR

Any help or thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There should be 2 buttons on the remote marked pre and cd because the Krell remote is common for the KAV series amplifiers and cd players. Did you try pressing the pre button first? Sometimes I do have to press the pre button to get it working again.

Yes, press the PRE button to get the remote into Amp mode.

If still cannot, then remote is spoilt and the other recourse would be to buy another one from Krell. The local agent Norman Audio should be able to help.

Otherwise, there are some reputable Universal remote controls and they might have Krell frequencies so it can operate the KAV.

First, thank you for such a quick reply.

I will not receive the item for a couple of days, but will do as mentioned and leave feedback on the result, and my thoughts on the amp after a couple of weeks use. This will be my first Krell.

The manual online: The Krell site does not have the KAV-300iL it has the 300i but the 300iL does not appear in either the current or archived section? Anyone know where it can be downloaded please

Thanks again

the 300iL was a very short lived model.

Try referring to the 400xi manual instead. Operation should be the same except for the volume controls (buttons for 300iL, knob for 400xi).

OK, thanks for that I have located that manual no problem, still if anyone has it or a link I would still appreciate it

Oh my god... Read in a website across the causeway.
How come the used units of KAV-300i and 400xi are selling at even higher prices month after month?
Or the sellers are actually trying to fish for such high prices?

whats the going prices for the above now ?

The prices shd be around RM4k for KAV-300i.
One fella in Spore selling for SGD2.5k when another guy letting go his KAV-400xi at SGD2.9k.

Hi
I owned 300i and subsequently upgrade to 400i.
For both amps, a balanced output is highly recommended to show its true potential ! I prefer solid core speaker cable and interconnect for the amp.
The original remote for 400i is also rosak after a few years of use .. Try micromega remote .
The original is very very expensive .

I guess you were trying to say 400xi as there are no 400i in the model line-up.

The remote control reliability is a normal case.
The touchscreen Krell remote is really nice..

Micromega remote control also works coz they are all using Philips frequencies (i think) for the Amp function signaling.

Otherwise if anyone needs to "clone" some Krell frequencies coz their Krell remote has bitten the dust, drop me a PM.
Bring your own universal remote. A Logitech unit goes for about RM100 at the computer shops.

a bit above average price but i guess the power cord balance the figure.

I can sell you 4.3K ( without ori remote but with Marantz remote )

mr wabun, good luck with the sale!

out of curiosity, does the kav-150a ever made its way to bolehland? it looks the same but off course minus the pre amp etc

wow, out of all those hard cores, nobody knows the answer.. good on you!!
