The Krell Evolution (EVO) 402 is classic big-iron Krell—serious power, absolute control, and zero apologies. Delivering 400 watts per channel into 8 ohms (and doubling down as impedance drops), the EVO 402 grabs hold of speakers with vice-like authority, serving up thunderous bass, explosive dynamics, and a sense of scale that feels effortless no matter how hard you push it. Yet it’s not just brute force—the midrange is clean and confident, imaging is rock solid, and the overall presentation is commanding without being cold. Built like a tank and voiced with that unmistakable Krell swagger, the EVO 402 is the kind of amplifier that makes everything downstream sound bigger, bolder, and more alive. It doesn’t ask politely—it takes control of your system.
