I bought this amp two years ago. It has a broad soundstage and great performance. This is a very impressive sounding amp. I gave it a rating of "good' because it has some surface scratches and is not the prettiest amp, but it sounds and performs perfectly. I have seen this amp advertised for $2000, so I feel this is a good price.

STEREOPHILE REVIEW
The KST-100 is quite compact by Krell standards, its heatsinks
contained within the overall width of the alloy front panel. Described
as class-A to half power, it is quite powerful at
100Wpc into 8 ohms (20dBW); ie, 50W 8 ohms class-A, with the
specified power doubling into successive halvings of that impedance;
with 800W quoted into 1 ohm. Simple removal of the top cover provides
access to a mono switch which allows the amplifier to perform in
unbalanced bridge mode, working as a monoblock delivering 400W into 8
ohms and 800W into 4 ohms (both equivalent to 26dBW, footnote 1). Given
the past history of Krell products being able to drive low-level
impedances, these figures are believable.
Balanced and unbalanced working is possible: around 1.5V input is
required for full output; only the highest-output CD player/processors,
capable of giving 3–5V, will be able to drive it directly without a line
amplifier.
