The Solo 375 XD is a monoblock power amplifier from Krell, sitting below the KMA I800 with a substantial maximum current specification. The Solo 375 XD brings Krell's uncompromising current-delivery engineering to a serious monoblock format.

Key specs that matter

Input sensitivity is 2,450mV, with input impedance at 200,000 ohms balanced or 100,000 ohms single-ended. Output impedance is a remarkably low 0.018 ohms. Maximum current is a substantial 17 amps. Output power is 375W into 8 ohms, rising to 600W into 4 ohms. Gain is 27dBu. Frequency response spans a wide 0.5Hz to 100,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 103dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.03% at 100% global feedback. Damping factor exceeds an extraordinary 440. At 434 x 194 x 536mm and 27.3kg, the Solo 375 XD maintains a more compact monoblock chassis than the flagship KMA I800.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean, tightly controlled amplification reflecting the extraordinary over-440 damping factor combined with the substantial 17-amp maximum current, consistent with Krell's broader uncompromising current-delivery engineering philosophy.

Pairing

As a monoblock, two units are needed for a stereo pair, and the extraordinary over-440 damping factor handles demanding loudspeaker loads with exceptional control.

Alternatives

Krell's own KMA I800 offers Krell's absolute current flagship alternative within the same broader monoblock catalogue.
