Vintage Krell Amp... Which would you choose?

I am in the market for a new amp, and I was thinking instead of purchasing something new, why not purchase a preowned amp. I always admired the krell sound, but it was just way to expensive. I would like to know if there was "ONE" krell amp either class A or SS that you can go back in time and purchase, which one would it be? It will be paired with Martin Logan's.

Thanks,

You bought it, you broke it.  I'll buy you a beer and listen to you complain.
I won't take you seriously.  And a limit to my sympathy. ;)

Of course, bomb proof is the most important aspect of audio after all! We don't need to consider sound quality all that much...as long as you can crank that bad boy!  NOT

The older I get the more I appreciate timbre and nuances rather than loud.

So what do you all think about the Krell KSA 200S? There is recapped one for sale that I saw on HiFiShark.

Look for a used Pass amp 250.5 maybe.

I'd listen to a Chorus before I bought a Krell vintage amp unless vintage is desired. The Chorus is very good and I'm just using the multi channel amp(5200)
