Oddiiofyl, if you do your Krell homework, Dan D’agistino wasn’t responsible for designing Krell’s products for years. Dave Goodman has been the chief engineer for the last 23 years and is in full charge of all of Krell’s new products.
Krell is comming back strong they are at shows, getting rave reviews, and people are talking about the brand again.
The issue they had was a hostile take over from Venture Capitalist firm a few years back which afffected the brand and then was the transition to these new radically different Ibias amplifier and new styling and to top it off pushing out Dan and Rhondi.
That was a lot of turmoil. Now Krell is owned by Rhondi Dagastino and their new XD series of products are fantastic sounding, reliablity is up and Krell is introducing exciting products again.
The new K300i 150 watts class A power, built in Ess Sabre pro, Roon endpoint MQA buillt like a tank 52lbs, Apt X Blu Tooth, HDMI in and outputs, and it sounds fantastic $8k not cheap but not out of reach either.
Ayre’s Charlie Hansen is dead yet Ayre soldigers on with new products, Mark Levinson is back as well. We should be applauding that a venderable and well loved American brand with the legacy of Krell is finally back on stable ground and doing better and better.
Yes Dep it is nice that so far the gear is sounding really fantastic.
