Integrated amplifier.

The Krell KAV-300i exemplifies an integrated amplifier capable of delivering performance comparable to more expensive two-chassis systems. Thanks to its meticulously designed architecture and the use of high-quality components, it combines functionality and performance in a compact format, proving that an integrated amplifier can rival well-designed separates.

The sound quality of the KAV-300i is well-balanced and free from noticeable tonal errors. Its midrange stands out for its richness, featuring a fine texture and low granularity.

The soundstage is expansive and surprisingly transparent, offering depth and well-layered perspective, suitable for both classical and rock music. The imaging remains stable across the entire dynamic range, with good width and excellent focus. Even subtle details and ambient nuances are reproduced with precision, highlighting the KAV-300i's capability to handle low-level information effectively.

The high frequencies are neutral and unobtrusive, with no evident grain. Vocal sibilants are natural and never harsh, while cymbals sound open and without exaggeration. In the bass range, the amplifier performs admirably, reaching notable depths with control and above-average dynamics. While it may not deliver the absolute authority in the low-end that Krell’s top-tier models, such as the KSA series, are known for, the KAV-300i provides a lively performance with articulate, fast, and rhythmic bass that maintains excellent timing and a strong groove.

In terms of dynamics, the KAV-300i proves to be engaging, delivering impeccable rhythm and timing that ensures an enjoyable listening experience without fatigue, even during extended sessions.
