Krell Intergrateds..how come nobody likes em?

I can't believe that for 2500 US bucks there are 40 better.
I picked mine up used for $1600. It's driving a pair of Maggie 1.6s, so I need the power. I'm very happy with the sound, although I would agree that it's not for everyone. Someone in the above posts called it cheap junk - You may not prefer the sound, but cheap junk is the last thing I'd call it, especially for a $2500 amp.

I can't speak to any other Krell product besides the KAV-400xi. I've hear some of their stuff that happened to be in set-ups at dealers but never paid too much attention. Always out of my price range.
As far as the 400xi goes, I believe that anyone looking for an amp anywhere near the price range should have a listen. That is if they can leave the "Krell baggage" at the door.
btw: If you do listen, make sure it's warmed up - At least 2 hrs. from cold steel, or 30 to 45 minutes if it's been in standby.
