Krell Vanguard Integrated amp

Excellent + condition Krell Vanguard integrated amplifier (no DAC board). Only 6 yrs old and I am the 2nd owner. I have the original packaging, remote control and power cord. This is a truly awesome fully balanced integrated amp and will drive anything you can throw at it. One of the best integrated amps they have made. 200wpc @ 8ohms which doubles to 400wpc @ 4ohms and a pure Class A preamp section.

"The Krell’s power amp stage is perhaps best described as a ‘sliding bias Class A’ design. The circuit continuously monitors the output stage, adjusting the bias on the fly instantaneously to accommodate the demands put upon it by the loudspeaker load. In theory at least, this means the Vanguard, and all its iDrive power amplifier bigger brothers, should be capable of delivering a performance without the crossover distortion inherent to any amplifier class that isn’t Class A, but without the ecologicially-challenging inefficiency that is entailed with those designs. Or, put simply, Class A sound without Class A heat and fuel bills. Vanguard doesn’t get much more than pleasantly warm in use, but the chassis bristles with ventilation holes all the same.

 The Vanguard’s amplifier incorporates a massive power supply with a 750 VA toroidal transformer and 80,000 microfarads of storage capacitance. The tremendous amount of energy on tap provides 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts into 4 ohms."
