"I have no hesitation recommending the Krell Foundation; its inherent sound quality, the flexibility of its configurations, and its expanding capabilities make it competitive with cost-no-object pre-pros."

writes Kal Rubinson in his May, 2014 Stereophile magazine review of the Foundation processor. Kal knows cost-no-object processors as he previously reviewed our Evolution 707 and named it a Stereophile Class A Recommended Component. His most recent review continues the great critical praise the Foundation Processor has received since its introduction last year. The issue is on the newsstands now but here are some highlights from Kal's review...

"My initial impressions of the sound via the Foundation were exceedingly positive: the balance was really satisfying, and images stood firm against a background of absolute inky black."

"I used Krell's default input assignments, but renaming/reassigning was straightforward. The Foundation is amazingly adaptable."

"Krell says that it incorporates Intelligent HDMI Switching, in which all 10 source input are always active, their parameters stored in memory. Changing sources or channels was instantaneous and noiseless."

"Performing EQ only below 250Hz, the Foundation was amazingly effective at cleaning up room modes...revealed the Cathedral's spaciousness and allowed me to hear all the instruments as well as their reflections."

"The Foundation's characteristic sound was wide-range and beautifully smooth, with an expansive soundstage, stable imaging, and great dynamics... the sound had an overall integrity that went beyond that of the pre-pros form the AVR companies."

"Krell proved itself impressively responsive to customer comments, with three useful firmware updates..."
