Old Krell vs new Krell amps...
The KRS-200 are 20 years old...Should I be concerned with reliability problems with those kind of amps ? 
Old Krell vs new Krell amps...
Hello,I've seen the KRS-200 on audiogon : very tempting too...But I don't understand why the seller has to change the XLR inputs...Usblues : you think that my actual GamuT amp is better than Krell amps ? 
Old Krell vs new Krell amps...
If I try to summarize all the answers, I get mixed results :- 2 first posts : FPB are better than KAS,- then 2 posts : EVO are the best,- 2 posts : KSA and KAS are better than FPB.So, there is no clear winner, I think !Last result : Pass X350.5 is... 
Old Krell vs new Krell amps...
Yes, the KAS are in 4 blocks : eahc channel has its separate power supply.They were built around 1990 and I don't have precise information about their reliability...I have to test them seriously and if the shop offers a warranty, it could be inter...

Ozzy : do you have compared the Pass with some actual Krell amps like FPB or EVO series ?Thanks for your help ! 
Old Krell vs new Krell amps...
Thanks again for all the answers.I will try to compare the KAS to my actual amp : GamuT D2 mkIII.Then I will go to the other store and compare the D200 with the EVO 302...

Old Krell vs new Krell amps...
Thanks for all those answers : they are very interesting !I think that the best choice would be a new EVO 302.The KAS and KAS-2 are old amps and reliability problems could occur fast...I noticed too that the EVO 302 construction (layout) seems to ... 
Gamut D200 Mrk II hum/buzz issue
Hello,I have a D200 mkIII and no noise with my speakers that are sensitives : 95db/w/m (Tannoy GRF).But you should check the gain setting of your amp. On GamuT amps you can set the gain between around 20db and 35 db. The default setting is high : ... 
Gamut M250 MK3
Hello,my GamuT D200 is directly connected to my dCS Elgar Plus, no preamp for me. 
Gamut M250 MK3
I like the GamuT a lot, but, you know, Pass is very good too : I talk about the Call A models like the XA100.5.I'm sure that the Class AB designs like the X350.5 aren't as good with easy to drive speakers like mine.The Tannoy GRF are 95db/W/m with... 
Gamut M250 MK3
The nwer Pass amps have correct input impedance.And my source has a very low output impedance : less than 50 Ohms. 
Gamut M250 MK3
Do you have compared the Gamut with Pass amps, like the X350.5 or the new XA.5 series ? 
Gamut M250 MK3
Thanks for your answer.SO, the M250 is worth the upgrade even if my speakers are easy to drive : Tannoy GRF ?I can have a pair of M250 for a fair price. 
Gamut M250 MK3
Thanks for your answer.The big differences between the D200 and M250 are more power and channel separation ? No big difference in sound, for example bass control or extension ?What was the problem with the Pass : could you explain a bit more ?
