Krell Reveals New IBias Class A Amplifiers  (January 6, 2014)
At the International CES Expo in Las Vegas, Jan 7-10, Krell will introduce the  design change in its 33-year history: iBias™, a patent-pending new technology that uses the Class A circuitry yet consumes far less energy than a traditional Class A amplifier does.

The new line includes seven models, including two monoblocks, the Solo 550 and Solo 375; two stereo amps, the Duo 175 and Duo 275; the three-channel Trio 275; the five-channel Chorus 5 and the seven-channel Chorus 7.

How iBias Works
In an iBias amplifier, a circuit continuously measures current flow through the amplifier’s output transistors, and instantly adjusts the power (or bias) going to the transistors to suit the demands. The output transistors never shut off, yet very little power is wasted as heat. Not only does the amplifier consume less power, it runs cooler and can be built into a more compact chassis.

Installation-Friendly Features
The amplifiers are built into relatively small, rack-mountable chassis. Proper cooling is assured through the use of thermostatically controlled fans chosen specifically for their ultra-quiet operation.

Krell has added Ethernet capability to all iBias amplifiers. Through the Ethernet connection, each amplifier can be accessed on its own web page through any device that can run a Web browser, such as a smartphone, tablet or computer. Using this interface, the dealer or customer can view heat sink temperature, fan speed, and other information, and also receive alerts for such conditions as overheating, fan failure and shorting of the output terminals.

Pricing and Availability
All of the iBias amplifiers have begun shipping or will ship later in Jan. Here are the prices (MSRP in US$):
Model – Description – Price (each)
Duo 175 – 175 wpc stereo – $7,500
Duo 300 – 300 wpc stereo – $9,500

愈睇愈唔明. 係AMP為何要上網?

乜都上網係唔係有病? 定無厘頭?

再咁落去, 不久的將來, 連雪櫃都要上網:
"so that customer can view fridge temperature, fan speed, and other information"

乜電器都要上網
"so that customer can view temperature, fan speed, and other information"

以後開個電話除左睇下有乜MESSAGE外仲要睇埋D電器有無異樣, 辛苦晒用家

這個就是internet of things的概念，就是甚麼都上網……

希望屎塔也可以上網，如遇塞渠，爆渠能第一時間通知我
