Krell FPB-200C power amplifier

Power is a vital key to accurate sound reproduction. But power alone provides but a translucent window; it often dulls our aural perception. For true transparency - the exciting immediacy that conveys both the shudder and the shimmer of today's best sources - power and finesse must go hand in hand.

The FPB amplifiers respond to this challenge with a unique and potent array of highly refined technologies. True balanced signal paths from input to output guarantee virtual immunity from noise  as theyenhance speaker control. Class A operation provides sound gloriously free of switching transients while the Krell patented Sustained Plateau Bias II circuitry avoids the heat and inefficiencies of less sophisticated implementations. CAST, a radical and illuminative revision of the system-amplifier interface, eliminates cable variations that can adversely affect sound.

Thus, every amplifier in the FPB Series provides absolute and unwevering control.
