The Krell KAV-3250 is a three-channel power amplifier designed for high-end stereo and home theater applications. It features a massive 2000 VA toroidal power supply and delivers 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 500 watts into 4 ohms, and can be bridged to provide 1000 watts into 8 ohms. The amplifier uses Krell's Current Mode topology with discrete Class A, fully complementary circuitry and 14 high-current transistors per channel, ensuring clean, detailed, and powerful sound. It supports both balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) inputs, with three channels each, and includes 12 V trigger inputs and outputs for system integration. The unit weighs approximately 68 lbs (30.9 kg) and measures 17.3" W x 5.6" H x 17.1" D (43.8 x 14.3 x 43.4 cm). It is finished in Krellcoat or black and is known for its smoothness, detail, and strong bass presence. The amplifier is suitable for multi-channel music and movie soundtrack reproduction and supports Krell Multi Amp Throughput (MAT) for simplified multi-amplifier setups. Power consumption ranges from 35 W in standby to a maximum of 2000 W under full load.
