Krell KSA 250 amps

well they have gotten MUCH better sounding over the years.

Sorry I don’t agree, the ones with static set Class-A bias "if in good operating condition, to me sounded better than the ones with auto Plateau (sliding) biasing.

The very best highest Class-A without external heat sinks if in good nick were the early KSA50

or the better more powerful KMA100 monoblocks which were both chimney fan forced heatsinking and biased statically very high into Class-A.

If you have the space; fix and keep'em;
They're beautiful amps! 

You can also use them as space heaters. I know I owned one for several years.
But seriously. I don’t think you could sell them even fixed for much more than $1500. And, shipping cost will be expensive. So it may not be worth it.

I appreciate all the advice. I have an offer but still not high enough. My curiosity is getting the best of me. If it costs between 600-800 or even 1000 buying these amps at 750 to 1000 one could have arguably one of the premier amplifiers for between 1600 to 2100. If I had the room I would have them fixed. I know there are unknowns with all stereophile equipment and that amp that you buy from any online dealer may give up the ghost pretty quickly. I don't want to spend the money and then give them away. This doesn't make financial sense. If one is in the buying and trading business then these amps wouldn't make financial sense. If you are interested in having a wonderful system it makes sense. Apparently no one wants to take the chance with shipping costs---could be shipped directly to Krell when bought or possibly the amp is major league trashed--unlikely. They were pallatized when moved in original boxes and stored in a climate controlled environment. If I send them to have them fixed I am going to have charge more for these as these will be reconditioned amps. I am sure there will be many disagreements with my take but so be it. I will be posting pictures on another site.

The KSA-250 was great for its time but it is sonically not up to todays sound quality.
