Krell primer?


I was hoping some folks could give me a primer on Krell amps. I’m in perpetual upgrade planning mode and have seen a number of Krell amps coming through A-Gon. I thought I’d ask for opinions. It seems that the FPB and KSA lines, which I gather are at least ten years old, are relatively reasonable in price and seem well respected. Can anyone comment on their sound? How much heat do they throw? Are there any ongoing maintenance issues with the older amps? I understand Krell still services their older gear, much the way McIntosh does.

Any comments would be useful. Thanks!

Hi guys
I have a KSA freshly recapped a year ago and was using it mostly on the lows but find I could use more power.
I am looking for a FPB 600(non c)and sell/trade 250

or
can a KSA 250 be put into monoblocks(at what cost)-there is some for sale now but they have never been serviced and at $2300 plus service/change to mono,I dont know if it is worth it.Love the Krell bass though.
