PRICE REDUCTION!
Not many audio designers hit the ball out of the park on their first try, but Daniel D’Agostino chief designer of Krell Industries did just that. Krell's first product set a new standard in solid state amplifiers. The KSA-100 is a configuration of two completely separated amps only sharing the same huge chassis. Each amp has its own powersupply (one Avel Lindberg 1250 VA toroidal, two 40,000 uF Sprague or Mallory large cans per channel), driverboard and power output section. The high power of 100 watts at 8 ohms was unheard of at the time 1981, let alone drive super low impedance speaker like the Apogee Scintilla (1 Ohm version, 800 watts) full range ribbon speaker . To get rid of all the Class A generated heat from the output section Krell opted for forced cooling with Papst fans blowing down (the MK II version blew upwards in sync with the natural convection flow of heat) through circular arranged heatsinks with eight TO3 encased powertransistors per channel attached to it.
This range of first Krell designs redefined the meaning of bass-slam. The KSA-100 sounded much more powerful then it’s relatively modest rating of 100 Watts with acceptable levels of refinement in the middle and high regions of the frequency-spectrum. Had did it sound, warm and well defined like the best tube gear of the day with bass that screamed authority.
This uint is in original condition except for one fuse holder that has been replaced with different style, no mods, runs hot as they all do and has been very well cared for with no scratches or dings. 9/10 ratting is due to age. If you look closely at picture you will see that some of the brass screws are missing. Krell is sending me the missing screws (at no charge).
I don't have original box and Krell does not either. Box size and weight are approximate. I will have it professionally boxed by FedEx and shipped FedEx ground. Buyer pays shipping and PayPal charges.
