krell ksa 50

IS it good to buy? How do we know? What speaker do you have? As said, if the impediance of your speaker doesnt drop too low, it fits. Hi-fi is all about system matching and sysnergy, regardless of class and price. Expensive system can sound awful if none of the equipment matches.

I wouldn't think that the impedance of the speaker would matter much with the Krell KSA 50, but the sensitivity might very well be a concern as well as the volume of the room in which the speakers will be used.

Hi, I want to buy this Krell ksa 50 amp to power up a pair of custom made speakers( diopolito style) . The speakers are 2 seven inch 8545 scans speak and a focal inverted metal tweeter in each cabinet.

I agree with Unsopund, the original KSA 50 (NOT the KSA 50s) was a pretty nice-sounding amp, particularly in the Mark II version, probably one of Krell's sweetest-sounding units, but it would likely need a full blown refurbishing, which would be expensive. In addition, it was fan-cooled, a part which could break down over time, and a pure Class A design, which means it really needed that fan--Krell ultimately started using heat sinks in its later designs in part for that reason. The strength of the first Krell designs was their ability to drive virtually any load; my KSA 50 did fine with my Duntech Princesses (90 db efficiency), though I ultimately opted for the more pwerful KSA 80 because I felt I needed a little more headroom. I think in retrospect it probably sounded a little more hi-fi than natural, but I have been converted to tubes since I owned it so take that for what it's worth.

Hi, the speakers are 91 dbs. So what you guys think, does this ksa 50 has enough power to push it. The preamp i'm using is krell pam 1, is the same age of the ksa 50. how you guys think of the sound gonna be?
