Krell Ksa power amps


Please keep in mind when purchasing Ksa amps by krell that you need to be replacing the capacitors on the input boards and quite possably the filter caps. There is no execption because of age and heat generated by these units. So if this has not been done prepare for 400.00 plus shipping. Call krell service If you dont belive me. Also never ship these amps without the factory box and packaging. Ive owne 4 of the big krells. They are the best!! any questions illenema@yahoo.com

How often?
I had mine in for service about 3 years ago. It gets very light use. (only used a few hours a week and is just used to power my bass. I use the FPB to power the rest.)

Thanks for the "heads-up".
I had mine in about a year ago, Hiend is very close on the price. It cost me $409..Krell told me I would be good for about 10 years. I thought the price was more than fair, it was the shipping ($155) each way that was killer.

Good post!
Anyone considering a used solidstate amp should keep this in mind. Im sure recapping applies to other brands of amps as well. Naim, for instance, recommends recapping every 10 years.
I wanted to send my KSA250(11years) to Krell but could not get the boxes. Any leads anyone??? I wrote to Krell and they put me in touch with their agent in Hong Kong but not much help. IMO 400/- is more than decent!!!!
