I was always impressed with the KSA series amps and Krell digital at the time. It just sounded so right and so musical and the presentation was holographical. Sheer magic when everything was right in the system.

The KSA-200S was class A 200w into 8 ohms and kept doubling down into 1 ohm for 1600w if the house wall supply was up to it. They typically weren’t up to it.

The sustained plateau biasing offered pure class A as long as possible before going class AB when the “pedal wanted metal”...

I still love Class A hence my own Class A integrated but I would say it was Krell over the many years that convinced my ears to never settle for anything but Class A or tubes.

Here is a review of the Krell KSA-200s It just as impressive amp today as the very best out there.
