This is a big amplifier with a big sound. A single-ended triode with 50 watts output at less than 3% distortion is a remarkable achievement. I’ll proof read this and probably find that there is ‘gushing’ in places, but I’ll make no apologies. With one exception thus far, all of the equipment allocated to me for reviewing has sounded good, which is the norm in this business.
I suppose that’s why critics of the review process harp about “never reading a negative review”. Well, it’s true. There’s something to like about most any component. Most have few flaws and generally, none fatal. The Kronzilla SXI could have perhaps an ‘airier’ soundstage and, every now and then, its “big” sound doesn’t quite have the nimbleness of a ‘quicker’ amplifier. However, the only reason I’m aware of these very minor quibbles is that I now have on hand a $37,000 pair of mono-block power amplifiers that are among what I would call the top five in the industry. An integrated amplifier at 1/3 the price that holds up extremely well in comparison has to be called a bargain.
