Krell Home Schooling Anyone ? Need a Tutorial...

Should have added...

- looking for a entry level amp, maybe the KSA-100 on AG, mostly due to $

- looking for 2 channel audio only

- 'best' speakers I have are Vandy 3's or Infinity Crescendo 3009's, AR9's (need refoaming)...

Here' s a good place to start:

Pesonaly I'm not a fan of of amps with fans, so the earliest Krells don't work for me. The KSA 80/KMA 160 and KSA 200/KMA 400 series are amongst my favorites. Caveat, these amps are now getting old and might need new caps, re-biasing, etc.. It's been reported here that Krell's charges for these services can be quite expensive. While the true audio Krells (IMHO, that doesn't include their intergrateds and AV stuff) have a common signiture, there are notable differences between different series. Good luck.

I am going to review the big Krell Evo Monos. They are due for delivery the second week of July. The intro to the review will include a synopsis of the great Krells of the past- the pluses and the minuses. I'll be posting video of schlepping the big boys into position- they weigh 170 lbs each- Egads!

Here’s a link to the listening room, equip, my biases, etc.
