I still have fond memories of my first Krell amplifier, a KSA-50. Back in those days (date purposely omitted), my principal source of audio equipment reviews, aside from <I>Stereophile</I> and <I>The Absolute Sound</I>, was <I>Hi-Fi News & Record Review</I>, which I read voraciously from cover to cover every month. One fateful day while sitting by our community swimming pool, I happened upon an enlightening review of the KSA-50 written by none other than our own John Atkinson, editor of <I>HFN/RR</I> <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/asweseeit/352">at the time</A>. His words describing "the steamroller-like inevitability of the bass with this amplifier" haunted me for weeks, until I got up the nerve to audition, and ultimately purchase, my first Krell product.
