This is a buyer’s market for this category right now: at A$1,840, this sits just under the 25th percentile of the recent comparables and below the A$1,928 median, so it reads as a strong buy rather than a stretch. For a hefty Krell power amp, that’s a very solid asking price in today’s used market.
The KAV 2250 is well liked for its authoritative grip, fast dynamics, and big, effortless presentation—exactly the sort of amp that can wake up demanding speakers and sound larger than life without getting splashy. An excellent-condition example at this price is especially attractive if it’s been cared for and includes the original box, manual, or service history. If those are present, it looks like a clean opportunity.

Krell Industries, founded in 1980 in the United States by Dan D'Agostino and his wife Rondi, emerged from a passion for pushing audio engineering boundaries. Based initially in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and later settling in nearby Orange, the brand drew its name from the advanced alien race in the 1956 film Forbidden Planet, symbolizing limitless technological power. The company's debut at the 1981 Consumer Electronics Show with the KSA-100, a high-power Class A amplifier, sparked immediate demand and established Krell as a force in American hi-fi innovation.
Krell specializes in high-end amplification, with its power amplifiers—epitomized by flagships like the Master Reference Amplifier—earning legendary status for their raw dynamics and precision. The lineup extends to preamplifiers, surround sound processors, digital-to-analog converters, CD and Super Audio CD players, loudspeakers, and subwoofers, all engineered for uncompromised performance in music and home theater systems.
Positioned firmly at the pinnacle of the high-end audio market, Krell commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its cutting-edge circuitry, massive power supplies, and relentless pursuit of sonic excellence. A top-tier brand alongside legends like Levinson and Threshold, it appeals to buyers seeking reference-level gear that defines the genre, even amid recent ownership transitions following Rondi's passing in 2024.
