krell ksa-250- vs ksa-200s vs fpb-200

Older Krell amps are not cheap to repair or recap. A tech friend has be given a couple by owners who didn't want to spend the money on them; so far he hasn't either. HIFICRITIC has teated a number of them, here is their rating; see their web site for info on their rating scale.

I would wonder how those numbers were arrived at.The FPB might sound a bit more refined but what speakers you need would also determine things.If you think you ever might get some really low impedance loads the KSA series was only one to ever remain stable into 1 ohm constant.That means my KSA300S can put out a whopping 2,400 @ 1 ohm.With Vanderteen's,Sonus Faber,Apogee's (but not Maggie bad match) etc this could come into play on the low impedance dips so amp does not shut down or clip.but it's also not power.,The 50 watt KSA is a cult amp that put zKrell on the map and is still one of Harry's faves.

thanks guys, Im running monitor audio gold reference 60s with Audio Research ls16 pre, not the hardest speaker to drive but I like to rock out and want great control with slamming sound at high spl. I mainly listen to alt rock, 80's industrial and classic rock. By ease of use I mean doesnt sound best after being on for 2 hours. I usually leave my amps on 24/7 but doubt I would want to do so with something like the ksa-250 that draws 1kw at idle and turning on 2 hours before listening is not practicle for me. Thanks

I guess really im just looking for the sound characteristics as compared to each other and which one is going to give me a big rock concert soundstage, right now I'm leaning towards the fpb200 as i read that it has the fullest sound and shares some technologies of the other two amps, but thats based on what bits of information ive scrounged off the internet so I am open to some real world feedback
