I believe Goldmund make (made?) a set of speakers where all the drive units are 'reversed'.

In 1984 Luxman were bought by Alpine, an unhappy marriage that nevertheless would last ten years.
They did still come out with a few choice pieces including the LV-117 integrated amplifier:

Sort of doubles down on the 1980s Japanese penchant for 'tech labels' on the fascia by having a short essay written on the front.

Which would annoy me intensely!
But at least it is black.

I'm sort of casually looking for a power amp with orange level meters to match my CD transport and pre-amp and came across this Sansui B-2301
From 1982 (or 1983 depending on which source you believe).
The transformer alone allegedly weighs 12 kilos
There's a couple on eBay but 100V versions only which I won't touch. Probably be easier to find Shergar than a 240V version of it. Might be some 220V versions knocking about in Germany where in those days they'd never even heard of Linn or Naim.

Looks like a right brute, and a worthy alternative to your Krell. Can you not buy some kind of step down transformer to take it to 110V? Or do those things not work very well?

You could always stick a picture of Trump to the front of your Krell, or would that be too much orange?

There's some issue with using step down or step up transformers which I read about years ago now and can't recall what it was now.
I was only window shopping anyway - I can't really justify spend two grand on a 40 year old power amp just because it has orange meters.
