Krell Restoration

Want to restore my FPB-200. Works fine, but must repair my 802s and thought I should have the Krell caps checked out and replaced as needed. It's been 15 years of hard use. Should I send it to Krell, or use a local, highly regarded specialist located near me on the West Coast? Got the Krell carton, but shipping could be deadly. Any experience with third party repair?

Appreciate the comments Audiolabyrinth

I don't like open questions so I asked Patrick at Krell about the impedance load wpc power ratings above 8 ohms.

Hi Chris,
This is a question I do not get asked too often so I am not quite as knowledgeable in this area. I do know that if the load of the speaker goes up then indeed the power output of the amplifier does indeed go down so your figures below are accurate (in this case 600wpc @ 8, 300wpc @ 16 etc).
Hope this helps.
Patrick
