Difference between Krell HTS 1 & HTS 2

What exactly was wrong the original HTS 1? How did they fix it in the HTS 2? Does Krell offer an upgrade from a HTS 1 to HTS 2. I see on Krell's website they offer an upgrade from a HTS 2 to 7.1 for $1500. I just bought a HTS 1 (not even knowing about a HTS 2) cause I'm not interested in 7.1. Now I'm reading about lousy 2 channel sound in the HTS 1. Did I make a big mistake.

This is my first piece of what I would consider "high end" gear. So far it sounds good to me, but this is the beginning my system not the end and I feel my current equipment will not tell the whole story. Thanks in advance!

Hey Dlp600,

I can't agree w/Kthomas more, especially since it's the same way I've done my set up.

Hello Dlp600,

I, just as you did, bought the HTS1, used, as the center peice to my system. I've upgraded amps from Krell(KAV-500) to the Plinius SA-250mkIV and Aragon 8008x3b combo. I've upgraded spkers twice from B&W to Revel to Dynaudio. I also purchased a dedicated cdp (Metronome CD2V Sig.) and now only use my dvd player for movies. The only peice I can't seem to replace is the HTS and believe me I've tried. Every upgrade in equipment I perform I feel like I'm going to expose the HTS for what everyone else seems to think it is. But every time, it just keeps showing me that it IS a high end peice. I think what Kthomas said is accurate. Don't get caught up in all the hype. Just surround the HTS w/other quality peices and enjoy. I damn sure am.......John
