Hey all, I just picked up one of those cool fancy Class A Chassis from this site and have a fully populated Krell KSA-50 and Aleph 5. I need to decide which one to build.
I already have the Krell KSA-50 Clone (2SA1943/2SC5200 output devices) and am very happy with it. Just finished populating the Aleph 5, and also just traded an unopened AMP10 for a another populated Krell KSA-50 Clone (with MJL21193/21194 output devices)
I am driving Magnepan MGIIIa.
The chassis is here:
case
I am quite sure the sinks should be able to take either, if not, I will max the bias to get no more than 60C if I have to. I also have a 20A, 24CT tranny on its way to power the amp. Probably better suited for the Aleph than the Krell.
This one will likely be my "Keeper" reference amp.

Hey, those cases are heavily inspired by Pass designs, so for me it would be shame to house anything else in there !
Now an X(A) would be even nicer ... 😉

Yup, I agree. Leaning toward the Aleph.
But I trust I won't offend Papa Pass by putting the Krell in the Pass inspired chassis.
Think the Aleph will drive the Maggies well? Anyone have a Aleph 5 driving a similarly dificult load? The Krell Clone I have drives it nicely.

Build the Aleph. You don't need 2 KSA-50's. They both have different sounds.
