Krell KAV-250A Stereo Power Amplifier 2 channel 250/500 8/4 Ohms Great Condition Technical highlights The KSA-250 is, without a doubt, the most visually appealing amplifier that Krell has yet marketed. Though large and very heavy, the presentation is one of stoic grace rather than imposing high-tech visual intrusion. The amplifier body is finished in flat black, with heatsinks externally lining both sides from front to back. The rear panel is neatly laid out, with single-ended phono sockets and balanced female XLR connectors on either side. Additionally, there are two sets of five-way binding posts for loudspeaker cable connections, which makes speaker bi-wiring a breeze. The front panel is finished in an elegant brushed-gray finish with large, black, attractive, downward-facing handles. The feather-touch power switch is located in the center of the front panel, just above the ubiquitous Krell logo. A blue LED power tally light is positioned just above the switch. All in all, a very nicely designed package. Internally, the KSA-250 is a study in simplicity as well as a technological tour de force. The 4.5kVA transformer, which by itself weighs 85 pounds (!), is located just behind the front panel, and is in turn followed by four 47,000µF capacitors covered by a printed circuit board. It is important to note that there is no wiring in the signal path, all connections being made via the pcb in the front end, and gold-plated copper-beryllium busbars in the output stage. There are 24 output devices per channel, all operating in class-A mode down to 3 ohms, where the amplifier reverts to class-AB (see Sidebar 3). The KSA-250 utilizes class-A circuitry throughout the audio and power-supply regulation stages, and can actually generate 320Wpc into 8 ohms. It is DC-coupled throughout, without any capacitors in the signal path, and is a fully modular design employing gas-tight pressure connections between all subassemblies, allowing quick and easy servicing in the field.
