Hello friends,
Recently I was about to build an AB class amp based on krell but their schematics are using 2SA1186 and 2SC2837 which are pretty old ones. Because of that it may be hard to find original ones... Is there anyone who can suggest replacement or suggest several other complementary pairs or help me to find it by myself?
Best Regards.

Yes, thanks. This helped.
Those Sanken LAPT devices are very high Ft (70MHz), amongst the best audio transistors anywhere, that's why you still see them on high-end products. The problem is that Sanken only deal through authorized agencies like Allegro Microsystems, if you expect to receive genuine product. There are plenty of copies and fakes of those types around and a lot of very good competitive products too but they don't perform like Sanken LAPTs.
Here's the current line of Sanken audio products which still includes 2SA1186/C2837:

I use 2SC6145/2SA2223, they are the latest developed.

Like them. The sound of them is very nice, and they have large SOA, same as NJW21193/94.
