The S-300i integrated amplifier combines a fully balanced, Class A preamplifier circuit with a stereo amplifier rated at 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 300 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Its circuit design borrows the Current Mode technology used in Krell’s top-of-the-line Evolution amps and preamps. This technology delivers unequaled signal bandwidth, ensuring clear, powerful response from the deepest notes of the bass drum to the highest notes of the piccolo. A massive 750 VA toroidal transformer and 38,000 microfarads of storage capacitance make the S-300i’s amplifier section one of the most robust ever incorporated into an integrated amplifier.
The S-300i delivers state-of-the-art conveniences audiophiles might not expect. First among these is its included iPod/iPhone interface. Like Krell’s awardwinning KID iPod/iPhone dock, the S-300i’s iPod/iPhone interface taps audio from the fully differential output included in iPods and iPhones—a capability no other manufacturer has used. A cable for iPod/iPhone connection is included. An included solid aluminum remote controls the S-300i, the playback functions of a connected iPod or iPhone, and Krell CD, SACD, and DVD players.
