We'll finish up the week with a review from this side of insanity - the Krell Evolution series. The review is from the Robb Report and, unfortunately, is a terrible review as reviews go, but it's worth noting that these polished diamonds from Krell smash their past reputation for hard, in-your-face sound (though, their lesser products retain that reputation):

"I would not dream of bogging down this review with such technobabble, but I will sum up by declaring that the Evolutions’ miraculous amalgam of science and art can resuscitate the soul of recorded music and make it live again."

Okay...yeah, well, other reviewers have said the Evolution One preamplifier and Evolution Two power amps combined with Krell's LAT1000 speakers provide some of the best sound ever heard. Yeah, $50k for the preamp and $40k for the power amps should sound pretty great. The power amp is a monoblock design (shown) with outboard power supply cranking out 450 watts. The preamp, interestingly, is a monoblock design with outboard power as well. I imagine one remote controls both units, though using both left and right hands to turn both knobs at the same time could be worlds of fun.
