How hard you push them. I know Krell amps run in class A and should be serviced every 10 years to be safe if using them quite often. Class A amps run hot and in time wears out the caps and other components internally faster than class A/B ampsYou should have your Krell gear service and brought back up to like NEW operation.
I have a friend that has the Krell KSA series and he is having all kinds of issues with one of his mono blocks but he can't afford to have both of his KSA amp sent back to Krell for servicing plus the cost of bringing them back up to spec.
