Krell KSA 250 - Advice

Long time listener … first time caller :)

I’m looking to purchase a power amp to power Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor speakers and wondered what your thoughts are on the Krell KSA 250. I have seen few 2nd hand ( I’m in the UK so we pay premium for everything ) I have a limited budget (who doesn’t) and not sure if buying a 18 year old amplifier is a good move ? I do know capacitors go in time but what else is probable to go wrong ? and where do you get replacements capacitors etc. If you know of any other pitfalls on owning a KSA 250 then please let me know.

so any advice welcome

Thanks

I owned a Krell KSA-250 for quite some time.
Eventually it needed service, sparks and smoke...yikes!

Anyway, I sent it to Krell and they charged about $400 (including shipping) to bring it back to spec.

So, probably if you find a used unit that has not recently seen service from Krell, expect to send it to Krell for updating anyway.

I did eventually sell the KSA 250 for about $2500 a couple of years back. So, current prices should be a little below that price range (if its been updated).

Great unit, puts out a lot of heat.
