Totally unique audiophile videos on KZbin. Amazing. Keep them coming.

Fun video. Notice how the cosmetics of the Krell and the Apogees match so well in their 50 shades of gray? Understatement of the year: the room is undersized. Seriously guys, this cannot ever achieve what these speakers are capable of, or even close. I know as an Apogee Full Range owner myself. You need at least 6 feet to the wall behind them, and at least 2 feet between the side walls and the outer edges of the speakers. The tweeters should be on the inside, in the range of 6 to 11 feet apart. With proper ribbon phasing (not always observed) and no toe-in, the listener sits in a large sweet spot. Here the speakers are projecting the sweet spot to the side walls. Don’t mean to be negative here, only helpful. You really need to put smaller speakers in here and find the Apogees a suitable room to achieve the majesty they are capable of.

[@Acura1NSX]

You are absolutely correct in every single point you stated here.

[@fredericdondin]

Back in the 90s to have such a complete setup you had to have a great income job.

[@Acura1NSX]

You state that you are still trying to figure out the best way to set the Apogee FR up. Please remove them from this tiny room as they will never work in this size listening room. They are designed to be at least 4.5ft from the rear wall and 2' from the sidewalls. There are like fine wine, they need a LOT of room to breathe! This current room would be good for some monitor speakers on stands but that's about it. Take care & enjoy de music.

[@amitbrahme3635]

Greeting from India. For almost couple of months I am watching your videos. The items you hold in your shop are incredible and unbeatable. I hope you by looking your videos people around the world will come to know what are instruments that are designed to last and where you can actually enjoy the music by buying these worthy items. Best luck for both of you!!!!

[@carmenandthedevil2804]

Guys, you are going to either blow both power supplies or burn your shop down with them stacked like that. The KBL power supply gets ridiculously hot and can burn your fingers if your not careful. Get them apart and in free space. I know, as I used to sell this stuff. KBL to me, was the second best Preamp I ever heard. Second to the DNM Series 3 Twin.

[@elk4711]

Great video with beautiful kit, but no mention of the most important piece of equipment i.e. the cables. They carry the signals from pre-amps to amps to speakers and are fundamental in producing fantastic sound. No use having a Rolls Royce and running it on cooking oil.

[@dougg1075]

Sound demo:) and yeah I know and don’t care:) Beautiful place guys

[@shb8124]

I always thought the Krell stuff was beautiful.

[@matthewtennenbaum3068]

For sake of clarity The KBX crossover and the original apogee crossover are active units (not passive) as referenced in the video.

[@nathanielprunetree9184]

G'day SkyFi team. Can you show us how all the equipment is connected in the back please? How you connect the pre-amps to the power amps? Thanks!

[@MROK-1972]

Wooow!!! Beautiful Hi-end Audio. 👍👌👍👌

[@jim586]

I’m stunned that with all the quality of design and build that the KBLs would have no way of syncing the volume pots? If I was that rich and that obsessed with audio there’s no way I could have lived with that arrangement. You’d be forever wondering if it was properly balanced.

[@dilbyjones]

LoL .. I thought about that. Although an SPL meter could assist ?

[@jim586]

@@dilbyjonesHa, yeah. £50,000 system and you have to get one of those out every time you change the volume.

[@dilbyjones]

@@jim586 yea. Not true.

[@jim586]

@@dilbyjones I know I won’t be buying one. The Krell amps, that is.

[@matthewtennenbaum3068]

When switched to dual mono mode with the the 2 chasis there are dip switches inside the units which must be set. In this dual mono configuration the gain is matched by adjusting the volume of controls of each unit utilizing the led lights adjacent to the symmetry knob as whose function is changed in dual mono. It is explained in the manual. This allows you to exactly match the volume (gain) of the 2 channels.

[@matthewnicholas7118]

They are Apogee Full Ranges (not Grand) Still freakin awesome speakers!

[@dougg1075]

Beast right there. Would love to hear that

[@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120]

Thanks skyFi audio , hope who ever buys has dedicated circuits atleast 2-30amp !

[@jackkryjak2635]

Great Stuff! Outstanding. Congratulations on the store. Vintage done right.

[@datka3]

Beautiful stuff , nice sauna

[@JMAudioEditions]

the whole point of having separate linear power supply's is that you use the umbilical cord to keep the distance away from the pre-amp I believe according to Dan D'agostino and Ray Samuels - both iconic designers and engineers agree- KEEP your power supply away from the pre-amp

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

Those are not Apogee Grands which have build in cone subwoofers. They’re Apogee Full Range.

[@danielmarshall4587]

JOY, many thanks for this vid. It's very enjoyable to see that this sort of equipment is avaliable... not to me.. at this time. However to those who have the means PRAISE BE you can have it sitting in front of you, I'll enjoy the vid for now thanks again.

[@CheekyFest]

The design of the amps remind me of the Audiolab stuff

[@edd2771]

Love the channel and the store. I love the vintage stuff and the high end craziness. But if anyone here can honestly tell the difference between single or dual power supplies or single/dual preamps in a blind test you are lying to yourself and the rest of us. I think things get taken too far, even in the ultra high end, to the detriment of the hobby.

[@dilbyjones]

Yep. That's pretty epic.

[@oorkruiser]

It’s more of a show room than a sound room.

[@RealHIFIHelp]

Interesting room you got there.

[@varakantipprapa8222]

Waiting for second KBL to my set ; )

[@raymondtaveras9371]

I have the class A amp you have in the bottom of the the rack

[@MegaPete]

Thanks for the vid boys

[@JD-lk7im]

If you put an elastic band over the Two volume control knobs, they would turn at the same time, therefore negating the need for the user to adjust both respectively. LOL.

[@Nadtochy]

Someone is too happy with his own KPA.

[@jeremyr722]

Phew boy, if I had the scratch...

[@MegaPete]

The Wow factor

[@brandonburr4900]

Monster speakers for that room! Anybody know the difference of krell mda 300 monos vs the ksa 250? For a moment they look the same. Appreciate all the time you put into these curated systems. Like a time capsule! Keep it up! Love them accostic panels on the wall with the magazine reviews! Can these be purchased and have the owner wants for pictures or print on them? A link to the manufacturer of those panels would be appreciated! Thanks!

[@carmenandthedevil2804]

The MDA300's were the mono versions off the KSA150.

[@Sergey_777]

Hello ! Please tell me, I need your advice. My system has Krell ksa300s + krc-2, Infinity IRS SIGMA acoustics. As I understand it, this system requires a DAC and a CD of a normal level... now I’m using Marantz 14 Super audio...) There is an opportunity to buy Krell kps 20 i/l. It has a transport and a DAC, but also a preamp... Question: How can I use the KPS 20 to bypass its built-in preamp? I don’t want to sell the Krc-2, and I think that as a preamplifier it is better than the one built into the kps 20i/l... I need your advice) Thank you

[@theworldaccordingto4555]

Nice gear, classic.

[@apg-audiostuff3456]

You had me until "you have to match the volume levels per channel". All that engineering and you expect me to stress out over levels every time time I touch the volume knob! 😔

[@marcoantoniojoaquim1797]

Tem ser muito rico

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

You guys really don’t know how to setup Apogees in a room. You but a 7’ Apogees in a shoebox 1’ front the front wall with no space on the sides. You must be joking if you claim you can make those Apogee sound good in that room. Jason Bloom is rolling over in his grave. 😂
