Amplifier Decision - Audio Research vs Krell

Hi all,

I wanted to ask all the experts out here at Audiogon for their opinion before I make a purchase.

I have the big task of deciding to buy one of two amps:

Audio Research Classic 120 (both monoblocks of course)

or the

Krell KSA-250

I am torn between the two! Both are the same price and both are working perfect.

I have a Paragon 12 pre-amp. My speakers are Acoustic Research AR-7, but will probably change in the future.

I'd appreciate opinions and suggestions.

Speakers will probably change in the future...even though these have been surprisingly good while playing with a mediocre amp.

I basically want to get a high quality amp that will last a long time and have the dynamism to play with a variety of equipment.

I was told that the Classic 120s are an excellent choice in that they deliver flawless power for pretty much any application and are very modifiable.

Also...is it true that the Krell would need its own breaker and serious heat circulation?
