I currently own a KSA 100MKII and 2 KSA 250 amplifiers which are in pristine condition (2nd owner).Preamp is a KRC-2. Only issue I've had was the baby 100 popped/shut down shortly after turn on 10yrs ago. Living in PA. made it possible to drive to Krell in Conn.,in which I received the full tour!! Kudos HAVE to go to DAN D. for having an extremely NICE and PROFFESIONAL staff!! A capacitor in the protective turn on circuit went bad,$128.00 repair. Went bad due to age/not run on a dedicated line. I STRONGLY URGE installing dedicated lines for your equiptment especially if considering a Krell amp. Yes they are older but I still love their sound. Electric bill isn't too bad for the price of happiness and they do run HOT but, built to stand the test of time!!! Good Luck !!!
Krell primer?
I was hoping some folks could give me a primer on Krell amps. I’m in perpetual upgrade planning mode and have seen a number of Krell amps coming through A-Gon. I thought I’d ask for opinions. It seems that the FPB and KSA lines, which I gather are at least ten years old, are relatively reasonable in price and seem well respected. Can anyone comment on their sound? How much heat do they throw? Are there any ongoing maintenance issues with the older amps? I understand Krell still services their older gear, much the way McIntosh does.
Any comments would be useful. Thanks!
