Definitely, the FPB300 (or 400). I've had both vintages.

Ageing Krell KSA150 - repair or replace
Hello there.
Need some advise please. I've been using a Krell KSA150 power amp with a KRC re-amp for almost 15 years now driving Monitor Audio Studio 20SE speakers. With improvements to set-up & cable upgrades over the years, I am now very happy with the sound. But recently, DC appeared at the right channel speaker output which meant re-capping, which in Hong Kong where I live is quite expensive - some US$500 per channel.
I am pondering whether to replace or pay for the re-cap. My power amp has not been trouble free in its life - its had power transisitor & start up board failures in its time. Sound-wise, it good though was shown up as having a typical solid state sound when a friend lent me his Jadis JA30 mono-blocks many years ago. However, in terms of timing & rhythm, which is important for me, the Krell was better.
If I replace, I was thinking along the lines of a FPB300. Or should I be considering something else?
Your comments & advise will be appreciated.
