krell ksa 50

It will need at the very least all new caps and the AC fans are reliable as the sunset and fairly cheap also.
Compared to the 80,100,160,200 watters of that era, the 50 really doesn,t like low impedences. It will drive them but not well. A Martin logan SL3 is a bad match for example. The others are not fazed by this load.
A great amp like this should be gone thru with TLC and given a second chance.

Has the amp been re-capped or refurbished? If you don't know then I probably wouldn't mess with it. Just my 2 cents. I would rather have the 50s or 80s models. I have heard a 100/200 and 100s/200s and prefer the later s models. So did 2 of my other buddies but to each their own.

HI, I finally pick up the krell ksa 50, it sounded amazing with my secondary set up(krell pam-1 preamp, ksa 50 class A amp and sony sacd-777es. The vocal is very strong just as i was hoping for before i make the buying move on the unit. Very Very happy..:):):)...thks
