So why was the Krell KPS 28c discontinued?

My guess (but I really know nothing):

Wouldn't one be pissed if you bought the KPS28 and a month later Krell comes out with a "KPS29" SACD player.
I think this may just be a buffer before an SACD player is released.

Jeff,
If you have read my previous posts, then you know that I really, really like Krell; the company, the products and the people behind the products.

Knowing them, if they can offer an upgrade, they will. Only when the new product is too big of a change, they don't.

I just can't help myself, but I have to respond to the post of Ovature.

If you have such a negative feeling towards Krell, why did you own one for two years? And if it was built like the Sony SCD-1, that is a pretty good recommendation.

Although I am not personally familiar with the KPS28c, I am very familiar with most of the rest of their equipment; and the build quality is beyond reproach. Also, about being bright: Some of the older gear (10 years ago) was on the bright side, but now the gear is beautifully sweet, but VERY accurate. The fact that it does accurately reveal, on great speakers, what the music portrays, may indeed sound to you to be bright, but that is the way some music is.

I attend the San Francisco symphony regularly and sit in 10th row center, and nothing, to my ears comes closer to repoducing the concert sound as do the Krells driving my speakers.
