Those were, and still are wonderful amps, when working properly. I don't normally agree with ebm, but he is right about repairing them before sale. :-)
Krell KSA 250 amps
I have 2 Krell KSA 250 amps that were recently bench tested that had been in storage for 10+ years. Each amp had a cap overheat and in the identical place on the input circuit boards. I am trying to sell these amps and realize I have to drop my price or get them repaired. Does anyone have info on what to ask for 2 non functioning amps. I have had an offer so low I can't accept it. Any help or info appreciated. Estimate from Krell is between 600-800/amp. Question is fix or part it out.

Does anyone have info on what to ask for 2 non functioning amps. In non working condition, they "could" be a simple fix or a "very" expensive massive fix, both by experienced technicians that have the service manual. So they are worth a gamble at $500 each, I would take it, if they were in Australia and in very good external condition. https://us.v-cdn.net/5021930/uploads/attachments/6/3/9/9/7/81458.jpg Cheers George |
well they have gotten MUCH better sounding over the years. Sorry I don’t agree, the ones with static set Class-A bias "if in good operating condition, to me sounded better than the ones with auto Plateau (sliding) biasing. The very best highest Class-A without external heat sinks if in good nick were the early KSA50 https://www.stereophile.com/images/99krellksa5041279.jpg or the better more powerful KMA100 monoblocks which were both chimney fan forced heatsinking and biased statically very high into Class-A. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mracoustat/5419823759 Cheers George |
