Krell KSA-200 Should I Or Shouldn’t I?

I have just seen a 220V Krell KSA-200 in great shape and for a good price. I Have always wanted to own a Krell power amp. However, I am concerned this is a +10 year old amplifier that, by definition, has been running very hot (class A operation). My question is; if I buy a +10 year old KSA-200 what problems should I expect? How reliable has your KSA-200 been over the years?

Regards,

Marcus

This is not from personal experience, but my friend bought an ancient KSA-80 (I think) and made a boo-boo while changing speakers.
This thing was at least 10 years old and all he had to pay was shipping. The repair and updates were done for free.
When he asked about the bill, the service person responded..."There is no bill because there was no repiar. Krell amps don't break."
I like that policy.
I would encourage a call to the factory or the repair facility to see if this mindset is still in effect.
