It is a major issue because that breaker is the amplifier/speaker protection. If the breaker trips with the speakers connected and stays on with the speaker cables disconnected, it is probably a short in the speaker and not an amplifier issue. If it trips without the speakers connected then it's an amplifier issue (i.e., DC at the output, internal short or part of the protection circuitry damaged).

It's going to need service to find the cause. A local repair guy may not be able to help without a schematic.
Thanks a lot guys, ive been looking for the schematics and i cant seem to find one, any help...??
So i have the schematics and my tech told me that one of the power transistors is burnt, 484002.. called krell and ordered one.. its now being fixed and hopefully that fixes the issue! 
Drive both to krell for service.  Get a room for a week or 2 to wait for service!

   will never ship amps, etc again.  
  Take the time.  Those amps are wicked!
