Technical:
The KSA-100 is a configuration of two completely separated amps only sharing the same huge chassis. Each amp has its own power supply (one Avel Lindberg 1250 VA toroidal, two 40,000 uF Sprague or Mallory large cans per channel), driver board and power output section. Another so called true dual mono design was the ML-3 from Levinson but this amp was biased in AB mode. To get rid of all the Class A generated heat from the output section Krell opted for forced cooling with Papst fans blowing down (the MK II version blew upwards in sync with the natural convection flow of heat) trough circular arranged heatsinks with eight TO3 encased power transistors per channel attached to it. As a matter of fact the ‘The Gold’ from the SUMO company also used fans to cool down the amp. Using active cooling instead of natural convection kept size and cost in check because huge expansive heatsinks would be needed to drop off the 650 Watts continuous power consumption. Seven years later Krell did make huge convection cooled mono-amps as their reference series (KRS-100 & KRS-200) with the same Class A output but with a significant raise in price and weight compared to the forced cooled versions. Although Krell has always been strongly associated with Class A biasing it’s their ability to drive extremely tough loads, like the renowned amplifier killer the Apogee Scintilla (1 Ohm version) full range ribbon speaker, that really illustrated the kind of DNA a Krell was made of. Only a few other amplifiers in this era, and most of them were amps with low power ratings, could drive speakers at such low impendences. Opening up the “hood ” of the amp gives you a strong visual indication of the ‘brute force’ method used to get an unflappable amp that could drive anything on the market then and today. D’Agostino’s assault on the high end power amplifier market was very successful worldwide due to these first designs. After Levinson and Threshold, Krell established itself as a strong contender on the high end audio-market.
