RE: Question about Krell amp models

I'd be curious to know how much power that KSA-250 truly draws from the AC mains while sitting there idle. Have you ever measured it with one of those inexpensive Watt meters? I would love to try one of the old Krells again someday but probably not in the summertime. ;-)

I thought my baby Krell KSA-50S was an incredible sounding SS amp. The only other Krell amp that I've owned since then was the KAV-2250 which was painfully dry and harsh. It had kind of a gray and sterile sound to it, lacking any soul and killing all musical enjoyment, almost like my 7BSST2 Brystons I had but these newer Brystons were at least smooth and not grainy like the KAV-2250.

Kill A Watt power meter. $20 USD
There are various models of this meter with additional features but the basic model is more than sufficient to measure the power consumption (in Watts) for electronics and appliances around the home.
