Best Krell Amp?

If you are considering service as part of your decision, take a look at McIntosh and Ayre as well. As far as what Krell to buy I would just go and listen. Good shopping!

Krell nah. had a couple of different models. They're convenient in the northeast. but - service takes a while and refreshes on caps are necessary pretty often.
I've had KSA-50, KSA-100, KSA-150.
I've gone the tube route.

That counterpoint is a very nice amp and in someways will outperform the krells. Ive Had Ksa 200, 250, 300S, mda300 ect.
I now run tube monoblocks, and dont look back. krell match up well with some speakers and seem to be best with difficult network, crossover speakers. The newer speakers i have here show up the krell sound more and its not as involving as some. just My 2cents. Ive spent $80,000 to find this out.

Caps need to be replaced in anything after time, Krell doesn't need more work than anyone else, and I have been to the factory to help a friend drop off his entire Krell system for upgrades and stuff. The people there were great, and provided us with a nice little tour.

I have heard a number of their amps, starting with thefirst 50wpc unit, a few of their KMA models and two FPB models. The one I preferred the most was the FPB 700cx. This is a lot bigger than you want, but the FPB 300cx should be a really good amp for you.

The newer FPB series amps sound much less Krell and much more neutral and musical than the KSA, KMA, etc, models. IMO.
