Description :
The the Krell KSA-80, honest audiophiles consider this to be one of the finer sounding amps, and one of Krell's best. Although rated at 80wpc, it is very high current and will drive any load. The Krell KSA-80 and KSA-200 amplifiers are benchmark products of 1988. Though 80wpc, the KSA-80 is a true pure Class A amplifier, so it runs hot and draws enormous amounts of power. Anyone who has power-hungry, tough-to-drive speakers, especially, should keep their eyes open for one of these amplifiers. It is difficult to find fault with this amplifier for it does so many things well. Its coherence is from top to bottom. The soundstage is very deep and seems to extend well beyond the boundaries of the speakers. Vocalists and instruments have a nice 3D quality. The bass of course is phenomenal with great pitch and control. Its low frequency presentation is very deep and powerful. The bass slam, in particular, is amazing. The mid and high range are very uncoloured, detailed and fast. In the system, there no grain or glare that can plague some solid state designs. When playing both Vinyl and Cd and there is no listener fatigue. The build is second to none. It is definitely built for many, many years of enjoyment.
