Recall of Krell Amplifiers

I just received information that the US CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) in conjunction with Krell Industries has recalled 2,300 of their KAV-250a, KAV-250a/3, KAV-500 and KAV-1500 amps due to 50 reports that the amps overheat causing smoke and electrical fires. A component input device can fail and cause the amps to overheat posing burn and fire hazards to consumers. These amps were sold between January 1997 through to February 2001 for between $3,000 and $8,000. Consumers should immediately stop using the amps and contact Krell to schedule free installation of replacement fuses. The number is (888) 436-6055 between 9:00am and 4:30 pm EST, or go to their website at www.krellonline.com or e-mail at [email protected]
