Krell Monoblock Amplifiers with 200W Class A Amplification!!  

A perfect fit to drive your Apogee speakers...

The KMA-200's are one of Krell's early amplifiers, and many people believe they were some of the best sounding. They pump out 200W which isn't much for an amplifier in this size and weight by today's standards.  But they do so in pure Class A operation, which produces an unbelievable amount of current and therefore they are capable of driving the most difficult loads.  From the look of the power transformer, size of the capacitors, and output copper buss bars, it looks like you could arc weld with these monsters.  Folks with Apogee speakers often search these out for this reason, and as a result they are becoming harder and harder to find in decent shape. 

Cosmetically, unlike later Krell amplifiers that were finished in black and dark gray, this model features a refreshing silver casing with a silver faceplate and gold accents.  Even the screws are gold plated... they look like a million bucks.  While there are no significant scratches or dents on the faceplate, the tops have a few scuffs, but nothing major. 

On the back you’ll see the usual stuff like dual RCA jacks that are gold plated, banana speaker outputs, and 5-way binding posts.  You’ll also notice from the gold tags that these are consecutive serial numbered units.  I'm guessing these are from the early 80’s... the golden days of Krell.

Functionally they are working as they should.  Just returned from being serviced by a local Krell expert and they are performing to spec.  We tested them in our lab to their full rated power without any signs of distortion or noise.  The super quiet internal fan did a great job at keeping air moving, but you will need to make sure and place them where the top and bottom covers are not obstructed to allow for proper air flow. 

One of the positives about amplifiers from this era is that they are simple in design and parts selection.  So if they ever need service just about any repair shop can handle without the need for specialized parts.

These amps are super heavy so they will be carefully packed on a pallet and shipped via freight for safe transport.

WHO WE ARE 

SkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of select high-end audio equipment.  We only buy equipment the we admire and are passionate about. No mid-fi, no gimmicks, no junk. 

Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the HiFi world. If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold.  We are very selective about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American, and European built units.

Through our sister company, which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Pro-Ject Audio Systems, and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts, service, and support.  If you are local and looking for new equipment from the above-mentioned manufacturers, please drop us a line as we can arrange both sales and professional installation in the tri-state area.

PURCHASING GUIDELINES

We do not accept or review any offers that do not go through the official Audiogon system. We have too many items for sale and it’s nearly impossible to keep track of offers outside of the official system. Please don’t message, email, or text any offers. 

If you do not see a “Make an Offer” button, it means we are not considering any offers on that item.   

PAYMENTS

We prefer working through PayPal which allows you to use a credit card or bank transfer. We do not charge extra for any payment fees if you purchase the item at the asking price.  You can also send us a personal check (which will need to clear before shipping), certified check, money order, or wire transfer. International clients without access to PayPal should use a bank wire transfer. 

If you are picking up an item we do not accept PayPal.  You must pay in person with cash, certified or bank check, or wire transfer.  If you make a PayPal payment and are picking up the item, it will be returned. 

TRADE IN POLICY 

We accept trade-ins of equal or lesser value under certain conditions.  Simply ask and let us know the exact model, condition, and the accessories that are included (such as the original box, remote, cables, manual, etc.).  We will only consider high-end equipment from mainstream manufacturers such as McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Audio Research, Krell, etc. and will typically pass on displays, projectors, receivers, dated surround processors, and mid-fi equipment of any type.  We will offer a fair value for your equipment, but keep in mind we are running a business and will need to be able to resell the equipment at a profit after investing a great deal of time and resources in testing, certifying, repairing, cleaning, and packaging the incoming equipment.  If you are looking for top dollar we suggest attempting to sell it directly to an end user on your own.

SELL US YOUR GEAR (Working or Broken)

We will also purchase your used or broken gear and arrange pickup if you are in our local market. Just drop us a note for a quote but be sure to include the condition and what is included. 

HOW TO VISIT US                                                                                                        

We are currently operating from a residence in Ridgewood, NJ.  You are welcome to make an appointment if there is a piece of equipment you would like to see in operation before or after purchase.  We have a well-equipped, dedicated listening room with tons of equipment of all makes and models.  We are not a store, so please don’t make an appointment if you are just curious as to how a speaker or piece of equipment sounds.  In essence, no tire kickers please.

If you are in NYC and cannot make it out to Ridgewood, we can arrange pickup in Union Square (14th Street) after the purchase.   You can call or text 201.879.0000 with any questions or to schedule an appointment.  We can also arrange to install, calibrate, and tune the gear in your listening room if you are local to the area.  This is super useful when purchasing large speakers or heavy amplifiers.  It is also great for ensuring your new turntable is setup correctly in its final resting place.  

Thanks for looking and please click here if you would like to receive a list of the equipment we receive from time to time.  We promise not to bombard you with junk email.
