The KAV series was Class AB, and not amongst Krell's most sought after models. Recapping Krell's are rumored to be expensive, make sure it's worth it.
When to recap a late nineties Krell Kav 250 A.
Greetings everyone. I have a Krell 250A which bought used in 1998 and to me it works just fine. The original owner had it for about 2 months.
I have heard that you have to recap the amp at some point, however I can not hear any degradation in sound. I did replace some fuses and failed to see if the caps are swollen or leaking. The amp has always been connected to a Tice Power Conditioner and sometimes I don't listen to it for a weeks or longer. My wife and I travel a bit and I just unplug it. Suggestions??
While we are at it, I have heard that Krell may be filing for Bankruptcy and may not be able to get parts or service in case it's needed. Thanks in advance and best regards.
