I have a Krell KST 100 too, same vintage and never a problem. I go through the amp every 10 years and do routine maintenance. You see people who use McIntosh amps for 40 years and they're still running, if you maintain it why not Krell? If you had a 1992 car and just put gas in it and never serviced it would you expect it to run good as new? Sure you can throw out your gear every 10 years and buy new but this hobby is about music not buying gear.The other point is you're right Krell does make class A amps and they do run hot but the KST 100 isn't one of them. The KST 100 is a class A/B amp it runs warm not hot. The difference is you can leave your hand on top of it indefinitely with no fear of getting burned. In addition it has adequate heat sinking because it was designed right. Give it adequate ventilation and service it and it WILL out last you.
