The second was that, although measured to deliver 50W into 8 Ohm
loads, this fell to 36W into 4 Ohm loads.

So I take it the current the amp delivers can change with the load?
(apologies if this seems elementary, I haven't done these calculations
in a while!)

The higher resistance loads may mean the amp voltage limits before the
maximum current it can deliver is required. This is almost unavoidable at
some point. Just that Krell and some others put this point well below 4
Ohms, and others do not. :-)

Slainte,
