If those Krell mono blocks sound great to you, then indeed they DO. I have a 1975 Marantz 2070 receiver and a pair of 1969 AR 2AX speakers that I recently restored and recapped and the combination sounds absolutely wonderful and is as musically satisfying as my 250W Manley mono block tube amps and Thiel speakers, let alone any of the other systems I’ve owned and enjoyed for the past 20 years. Just because components are no longer "current" doesn’t mean they can’t continue to deliver musical satisfaction.

As being a tech there's a max of $1000 for all ps caps and board caps, and a good day maybe 1.5 days labour. Cheers George
