On a point of information, Krells before the KAV series were always
specified as doubling rated power right down to 1 ohm. This isn't
repealing the laws of physics however, as my '50 watt' KSA-50 mk II
actually puts out 105 watts into 8 ohms, 195 watts into 4 ohms, and
does indeed drive 440 watts continuously into a 1 ohm load.

Not staying in Class-A of course :-)

Absolutely not! Often skated over by enthusiastic reviewers, but like
any other 'class A' amplifier, it operates in class A only up to it's
rated output of 50 watts into 8 ohms, i.e. 2.5 amps output current.
Ask for more current, and of course it begins to work in class AB.
