Do I buy a Krell KSA-80b ?

I can't find any reasons why I have to change my Amp(NAD S200). But, Spring's coming. Is it worth $1,600? If I pick it, it will feed a little Proac response 2S.

Power difference between 50 and 80 watts of good power is not really that material in real usage. Both amps will drive speakers with difficult loads. The Threshold goes for 800 usually; wonderful buy.

On paper they all look good, in the listening room thay all fall short. See my review of the Krell FPB 200 if you are interested in more details.
