Dan D. is out and has a new company. However, Krell remains one of the best amps; FAR better than Mac IMHO. The new line, 402e for example, are the best sounding amps they have made so far. The current Chinese made 300 series integrated amp is better than some of their old amps if not as good as their current top line amps. Krell has been around a while, I know as I was one of their original dealers around 1980, and the flavor of the month tends to get more press. I haven't been a dealer for decades and do not currently have any Krell gear so have no self interest here.
What happened to Krell
I was out of the HiFi world for the past 8 years and in the past few months that I have been back, I never hear much about Krell anymore. Are their products not as good as they used to be? From what little I have read, it seems like its their low priced (low for Krell) equipment isn't what it used to be. I have not read any reviews, but I am so surprised because they were the one main alternative to McIntosh that I was looking at when i was considering Dynaudio and B&W speakers.
