Dan D'Agostino Helius dual monoblocks, 1500w @ 8ohms

I find Krell to sound better than other amps on my Martin Logans.

Bought one vintage Krell from the nineties last year, and now I have 3 different designs. All Class A.

It's great that they still can be brought back to original operation at Krell or by some certified techs spaced around the USA.

I find Krell to sound better than other amps on my Martin Logans.

Most Krells are just what's needed to stay flat in frequency response driving into the .9ohm load load that nearly all ML's have in the HF.
  
Sure other amps will drive them, but their frequency response will look like a tone control, instead of being flat across the audio band into the ML's.

My Dennis Had amp is hand made and cost 1200 bucks used (it was new less than 6 months before I bought it). I realize it's somewhat less that 1500 watts (around a thousand times less actually) but serves to make the point that not all great sounding things are expensive.

Frustee, Dan disn't design every amp at Krell. There's more than one engineer there.

The good folks at McIntosh build the MC 2KW amps with nearly the exact same aproach of one chassis for negative, one for positive and one for the power supply.  Not 800 lbs or 250k but still impressive in the approach.
