I n t ro d u c t i o n Thank you for your purchase of the Krell S-300i Remote Control Integrated A m p l i f i e r. This fully integrated amplifier and preamplifier has a discrete signal path from input to output and employs a wide bandwidth design with low negative feedback for sonic accuracy throughout the frequency spectrum.
C O N F I G U R AT I O N S Theater Throughput Theater Throughput is a Krell configuration option that allows the signal from a surround preamp/processor to pass through a Krell preamplifier or integrated amplifier with no gain, for integrated vol- ume and balance management of Krell home theater systems.

Loudspeaker cable adds impedance to the load the amplifier must drive, regardless of the cable’s gauge. All Krell amplifiers drive the lowest impedances with ease, but long loudspeaker cables reduce the maximum power that can be delivered to the loudspeakers.
