Vintage Krell

Recently I asked one of the very most informed Krell individuals on the planet which vintage Krell amp would he personally buy. Out of a universe of potential candidates he picked the KSA 200s. Do any of you members own or have owned this unit? I will say that in those days no expense was spared on the metalwork. The damn thing today would cost 3 times it’s original price. Any Krell guys out there with hands(ears) knowledge of this unit?

KSA50, KSA100 and KMA100 monoblocks there were ones with internal chimney heatsinks that were fan forced and had proper amount of Class-A on them into 8ohms, KSA50 had 50w the KSA, and KMA had 100w

The other later ones with external heatsinks were just high bias Class-A/B 10-20 or so watts. Then there were the Plateau (sliding) biased ones, that never sounded that go to me.

I dare say these rare monoblock ones had some decent amount Class-A bias on them.
