Hi Martin
I have no prejudice at all towards American muscle amps. In fact having borrowed Audio Research and Mark Levinson amps in the past I can see why people like them. My personal experience with Krell may well be in the minority here. But I stick by my previous comments. As I said, all subjective.
Only heard 1 beard but it was nice. Would have had one in a shot had the opportunity arisen

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I myself am a big Krell fan! I owned a large set of speakers and I tried several somewhat powerful amps, but somehow it just wasn’t there, I couldn’t get them to take off. But my Krell amp (FPB-300) woke them right up! A smooth, rich sound, strong bass with real slam. Maybe not for everyone? But it single handedly brought my system to the next level! Are there other amps I could have been happy with? I’m sure. I almost bought a big Classe’ 400 watt amp I’m sure would have given similar results, it too a huge Class A monster.
Yes they can require a re-cap at a certain age, but it’s not like that often, every 20 years maybe. My amp is over 20 years old and shows no sign of needing repairs. I suspect it didn’t see heavy use in its life. I paid $2k for a $9K amp, when new, so if I have to cough up another $2K over the next 10 years, I don’t really have a problem with that. Then it’ll be ready to last another 20 plus years.
I say buy it! You might just love it. If not, resell and get your money back. You may regret not giving it a shot! That particular model is well respected and many good things said about it. I was hesitant, not sure about spending the money, but now I wish I had done it 10 years ago! No regrets.
