Which Krell to hunt down on the used market?


I heard that late models of Krell have gone down in quality - is this true?

Then which models should I hunt for? Should I change the capacitors on units more than 10 years old?

Thanks for the voice of experience...

How do the older very expensive Reference series KRS 100, KRS200 compare to the newer FPB series? Bob
Personally I like the KAS2. To my ears, they have both positives of FPB and KSA S Series. It is definitely better than KSA300S I have heard in every aspect, yet it has treble trasnparency character that FPB cx series has but in a lesser extent. For all new or old series Krell amps, I strongly recommend to give them a dedicated 20A line per amp. If you haven't done so, give it shot for a great treat. You may also conclude that it doens't sound anything like the anemic Krell sound that many have been complained about.
Slightly off topic here but I am guessing you all might know the answer:

Do the older Krells, like the KSA series or the early FPB series, have a remote trigger for turning it on and off?

I have searched for user manuals on-line, but have not found anything but the current model's information.

Thanks.
Just upgraded from KSA-200s to a FPB-300cx. I'd say the quality is up not down. The cx is much more musical. I recall the old KSA250s were very harsh but super dynamic and wonderful in the lower end.
