The Krell Evolution Two is a fully balanced, Class A monaural preamplifier from Krell’s Evolution series. It uses Krell Current Mode circuitry with zero negative feedback and a 1.5 MHz open-loop bandwidth, and includes Krell CAST (Current Audio Signal Transmission) connectivity alongside balanced and single-ended connections. Its volume control employs a 16-bit balanced resistor ladder using precision resistors and solid-state switches. The Evolution Two is a single-channel design; two units are required for stereo operation, and it was designed to complement Krell Evolution-series power amplifiers.
