Used Krell KAV-500, 1500 and 250a/3?


There are several of these amps for sale on this site. I am looking for an amp to fill out the home theater with. I just purchased some B&W N804s and HTM-1 and am powering them right now with a Bryston 4B-ST and other misc cheap amps. I bought a Proceed AMP 5 to try out the sound. Loved it, but not enough power and so back to the store it went. Thought about an HPA3/2. Enough power, but expensive. But then I saw these Krell amps for sale and was wondering how they would pair with B&W Nautilus speakers. Buying used would be considerably cheaper. I could just buy a Bryston 6B-ST (3ch) to fill out the home theater, but I want to make sure I have the right amps paired with these speakers (probably just a case of the-grass-is-always-greener). Curious what other B&W owners use for amplification? This system will be used for music as well. Thanks.

I'm not sure what they sound like but I can tell you the 1500 has been selling new in the box for around $5000.00 the list is around $8500.00. Krell has stopped making this amp and dealers are dumping them cheep.
Pickup the Proceed HPA 3 and us your Bryston 4B-ST for the rear channels. Good luck.
I have owned different amps in the past (Aragon, Krell, Sunfire, Denon and McIntosh)
But I’m very happy with recent setup: B&W Nautilus 803 with Classe CA-300, sound is magical, warm and very dynamic (Harmonic Tech. Pro silway II interconnects and Acoustic Zen Satori speaker cables)

If you listen to music more than home theater, recommend a pair mono Classe CAM-201 into your short list (new design)
Good Luck
I bought a new KAV 1500 for just under 5,000 and have it powering B&W 801 series III speakers in my home theater. They sound fine and the amp was cheap for a Krell.
