beginner need help with Krell HTS 5.1

96.56.240.130

I, a total beginner, got a Krell HTS 5.1 from my uncle. I don't even know if it needs power amp to produce sound. I will mainly listen to 2 channel stereo, but sometimes multi channel movie too.
Please let me know what I need. I want to listen to FM radio seriously too.

Do I need a 2channel receiver? or a multi channel AV receiver?

I think I can spend about $300 at this moment. If you can recommend a good used unit that can fulfill all my needs, I would appreciate.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hiya,

That Krell is a preamp/surround processor so you will need a separate power amplifier.

It's also an old (and very obsolete) model so you'd be best to sell it (probably worth between $600-900) and buy a more recent AVR.

Look towards the more audio orientated companies like Rotel, Marantz, NAD et al for AVRs that do a good job with music and movies.
