I use the following Krell amps with great success: 2 pair of KSA 250 & 1 pair of MDA 300s. They sound great with Signal Cable Silver Resolutions interconnects, Ultra Speaker cables & power cords. I like the KSA series better than the FPB series. I do like the EVO series. You can always count on the KSAs to bring you themusic. Now I'm using thr ARC REF 3 preamp, Legacy Helix speakers, and the PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC and transport along with the Power Plant Premeir. They do heat up the house a bit. Even if you have to rebuild the amps the KSAs are a great buy as you would have to spend lots of $$$$s to get better sound . As for the sound, very liquid, nuetral, and of course solid. I don"t think you"d regret the puchase.
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!
