September Temptations

i would say that 1. chopped in half in photoshop for some reason - a small gap needed filling?  or someone thought it looked "arty"?  2. no idea. 3. i think the grab handles are removable, not got the mag to hand so going from memory, i seem to remember some small holes that might have housed screws for the handles.  wierd that, i wondered about the same things as well.

Can't answer the question about the Pinius pic, but can do 2) and 3), since I wrote up the Krell review.

2) Yes, integrated - subs on 'must keep going' drugs, I suspect.

3) The front panel has a large gap between it and the heatsinks to let you get a hold on the thing, and  big conventional grab-handles on the rear. Perhaps the point could have been made clearer - 'substantial handholds on the front and grab handles to the rear' - but the review was originally written in a longer form for the new Ultimate Guide, so may have lost something in translation. Or it may have just been me having brain-fade.

just had a look at the pic of the krell, what i thought were screw holes are led's?  didn't think something that pricey should have exposed screw holes on the front panel.  doh!

The answer to question 1) is that it is indeed a picture of half the Plinius power amp lying on its side and cut in half. It's called 'artistic licence'!

Our Emma was clearly having a Damien Hirst moment that day.

Expertly photoshop'd indeed
