What's Wrong With the Krell Kav 300 Cd Player??


Hello,

What is Wrong with the Krell Kav 300 Cd Player?
Why are they Going for Between $900-$1200 used on
Ebay and Audiogon. I was Going to purchased a used
Kav 300 Cd Player, But Changed my mine Because they
were selling for so cheap. What do you Audiophile Experts
Think of the Krell Kav 300 Cd Player.

Thanks,

The KAV line in general, really doesn't do justice for Krell. I think they made a big mistake with it, because it sounds so inferior to their other product lines. The amps were harsh and didn't have the Krell authority, the pre-amps were noisy (grainy sounding) and the CD players just sounded like CD players of yesterday--not current technology. In my opinion they should have started a new label (like Proceed is to Levinson), but the KAV line does not measure up to Proceed equipment either. I think your hesitation to purchase the unit was probably a good one--even with bargain used prices, you could probably do better sonically for the same money.
