I recently saw a picture of someone's set up with a Krell amp front and center. Cant find it now. Wanted to chat with someone who owns one.

I'm thinking about selling a few items to pick up a Krell class A amp.

Was it @Viking64 ? Or @verb ?

    I know a fine gentleman who has one. I'm not sure if it's totally class A.
    Sounds very good though

    The only thing that concerns me about a big Krell Class A is that I'm in Florida and dont need a space heater.

    I would like to hear some thoughts on the dynamics, bass and vocals from one.

    Not me! Although admittedly, I pondered them for sure! Is there a Krell in my future, possibly! For sure! :)

    You can say that again...

    Krell KSA-250. Stable to .5 ohm. Love the amp. Pulls ~ 12 amps steady. 173f temps at sinks. Mine is in a large space. In a smaller space, it's gonna add noticeable heat to the room.

    I'm guessing you mean the one next to the coffee table? The other two are standard milk crates.

    I used to get them from the Container Store. They called them a Supreme Crate. They were taller than standard milk crates so albums would fit and allow for stacking.

    They no longer have them and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Some folks were selling the Supreme Crates on ebay for a crazy amount of money.

    I hear you. It needs a 20 amp circuit minimum as a 15 amp breaker can pop around 12-13 amps. I know a fellow that has two of the KSA-250's in mono block config. Krell used to do that back in the day. Double the fun, double the heat.

    Thanks! It is a GIK Acoustic Art panel. You can upload your own pics or choose from their inventory of pics.
