Stick with.. KMA-100'sMKII or go for KMA-160's ???

Hello guys, and girls, Iam looking very strong into trading out my Krell KMA-100MKII's Mono amps for a Pair of KMA-160's Does anyone know the trade off will be if any. Iam looking for more bottom end punch but still keeping the sweet sound of these older KMA-100's My speakers are watt hogs running at about 84db.@ 8ohm. Any input would be great
Thanks .. Happy Listening

The only downside - more heat and greater AC line demands.

The KMA 160's draw more current from the AC supply. If you're close to maximum now with the 100's you might pop breakers with the 160's.

Remeber, the 100's and 160's draw lots of current from the AC line at idle since they are class A amps.
