What amp sounds most like Krell mcx monoblocks?


I am searching for another used amp that sounds very similar to the mcx series. Love the sound of the monoblocks, but I am concerned that buying another pair may become an instant trip to service at Krell as the line is so old.

Anyone know of something that sounds very similar to this amplifier? I am not asking for something better, just something that is basically a sideways move would be enough.

I never heard any newer Krell product and there are no local dealers.

Thanking you in advance.

You'll never find anything that sounds exactly like it but the first thing that comes to mind is Bryston. Also, the high end Parasound amps.
"I have had a few Krell amps and they are very reliable. Only need to recap them to have them back singing again. Class A amps are tough to beat."

Is it really necessary to have an older Krell recapped? I'm kind of surprised that everyone is recommending this like its a given. Krell's build quality is one of the very best.
