The Evolution Series
Expressed through a combination
of breakthrough technologies and
inspired vision, the Evolution Two
Preamplifier and Evolution One
Power Amplifier culminate more
than 25 years of industry leading audio design. The relentless pursuit of the most realistic
music reproduction is at the heart of Krell design, and this
heart beats strongest in the Evolution. The Krell trademark is
synonymous with music reproduction that fills a room with in-
toxicating detail and startling dynamics.
Like live music, this effortless power and
instant response elicit a visceral response
that engages all the senses. Yielding phenomenal power in the most refined manner imaginable, the Evolution system is a
synthesis of almost impossible contradicions; a unique blend of
beauty, grace, and power.

Krell Industries, Inc. • 45 Connair Road, Orange, CT 06477-3650
• Newly redesigned Evolution
Plateau Bias System features 12 individual bias
levels for optimum performance and efficiency.
• A proprietary bias monitor
continuously measures and
adjusts the output stage bias,
insuring a lifetime of accuracy.
• Housed in a separate chassis,
the power supply makes use of
extensive electrical and mag-
netic shielding to keep radiated
interference out of critical amplifier circuits.
• Internal high current line condi-
tioning circuitry filters RF noise
on the AC mains, as well as
compensating for asymmetric
power waveforms and DC on
the mains.
• Advanced microprocessor con-
trol monitors critical operational
parameters.
• Bias, load impedance, regulator
output voltages and operating
temperature are all continuously monitored.
• All signal gain is realized in
the current domain using proprietary multiple-output current
mirrors with extraordinary open
loop linearity.
• The signal path is fully com-
plementary and fully balanced
from input to output, featuring
Krell Current Mode and CAST
circuitry.
• The amplifier employs no global
negative feedback, and the final
gain stages use only 8 dB of
local, nested, negative feedback.
This is one five-hundredth the
amount used in most solid-state
power amplifiers. The result is
an extraordinarily open, liquid,
effortless sound.
• The rails powering the ampli-
fierís low level and gain stages
are regulated twice for total
immunity from fluctuations in
the AC mains and virtually
noise-free output.
• All the regulators are located in
the amplifier chassis to provide
ultra low impedance supply rails
for the audio circuitry.
• Offered in diamond-cut silver or
luxurious black finish.
