Thanks for the news, may i know the major difference between Krell KAV-400xi and S-300i besides the latter offer ipod connection.

A good review indeed. The question now for prospective Krell owners is KAV400xi or S-300i?

Krell KAV-400xi
200Wpc into 8 Ohms 400Wpc into 4 Ohms
55,000μF capacitive reservoir
800VA
16.4kg

Krell S-300i
150Wpc into 8 Ohms 300Wpc into 4 Ohms
38,000μF capacitive reservoir
750VA
19.5kg

I noticed that the S-300i is nearly 20kg in weight.
It is considered as heavy for an integrated amp.

Have they arrived yet?

Shipment expected to arrive 2nd week March. Will keep you informed, chief.

Does the S-300i comes with Phono for turntables?

From the owner manual, there is phono input name (page 23) for turntables. Perhaps Norman Audio (M) can further confirm if there is physical built-in phono amp.

Norman Audio is currently away overseas for a business trip. I am sure he will respond when he returns. But that's at least 2 weeks away.

As it is with the Krell KAV-400xi, the S-300i is a line-only integrated amp.
You can always add an outboard phono stage of your choice for LP playback.

Thanks for covering me, WongKN.

Cheers,
