krell monster amps

[tom t]

guys, i need 10 of you to carry this in the house!! krells rma amps. 600 lps ea.

1000 w/8ohms--2000 w/4ohms--4000 w/2ohms--8ooo w/1ohm and

16,000 watts into .5 ohms. can you imagine the power. probably melt most speakers down.

[WilliamM2]

I can't imagine why it would take 600lbs. to attain that wattage, and there is no way they will deliver anywhere near 16,000, or even 8,000 watts from a 20 amp circuit. I certainly wouldn't want those in my living room.

[tom t]

im guessing you would have to have a few 40 amp dedicated lines. and at $150,000 who can afford it

[crazy]

What kinda speakers do these power???

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

Really big ones.

[appadv]

Monster speakers?

That is the beauty of a nice amp. They will power damn near anything you plug into them.

[Vr3MxStyler2k3]

You could power your house if it ever loses power. Just plug it into a generator and go from there...

Or a Hybrid car...

Or... a welding arc....

The uses are endless.

[steveinaz]

i think i have a woodie.

[dudeinaroom]

I've got a sore back just from looking at it.

[crazy]

No seriously, what type of speakers will do justice to these monsters?

Wilson Audio X2?

I am surprised they didnt have the CAT MBX goldrush speakers listed in that list. If I recall correctly they were more than a mill a pair 5-6 years ago? and were true monsters weighing in at over a ton. If anyone has a pic post it.:)

[tom t]

something like this will probably work

[tom t]

here is a better idea of the size of the amps

[engtaz]

those are nice. They would be great as a coffee table. Right height and everything. LOL

[Shizelbs]

Wow, I knew they were big, but those pictures really puts it in scale. Those are herkin huge. I want them more than ever.

[jakelm]

Those are not amps. They are warp cores.

[rskarvan]

Those are not amps. They are warp cores.

Where do you insert the Dilithium Crystals?

[jakelm]

Where do you insert the Dilithium Crystals?

Where the fuses go.

[AndyGwis]

Don't the new powerhouse Krell amps come with modded flux capacitors?

I'm almost certain Doc Brown designed these krell rma amps himself. . . after he slipped in the bathroom and hit his head on the sink.

[rskarvan]

That's the ticket.... Ronco's MR. FUSION.

[jakelm]

Next time you watch Star Trek TNG, look at the bottom right of the warp core. "krell"

[Bill Ayotte]

here is a better idea of the size of the amps

Those are massive! I am pretty sure they could heat a house in the dead of winter too...I bet you could blow some ballistic windows out too.....:D

[tom t]

glad everyone is enjoying the krell's,now if we all chip in $10,000 we can have one to pass around to the club members. everybody get it for a month

[Bill Ayotte]

Hold on, let me sell my car here real quick....

[cmy330go]

Would these be enough to drive my LSi15s or should I shop around for something bigger?:rolleyes:

[tom t]

probably have to run two in series. but can you floor handle the 1200 lbs

Nice article ...

[haimoc]

I am sure this amp will keep the whole house warm in the winter.

[heiney9]

I think in a pinch those could run the warp generators on the Enterprise.

"I'm givin her all she's got capt'n, she can't take much more" in my best Scotty voice.

Nice statement pieces but pretty impractical for the general audio geek.

Yep, but be sure to use an AVR as a pre/pro!!!!!

[McLoki]
