Any love for newer Krell amps?

I recently bought a Krell Duo 175 xd power amp, after debating between it and a less expensive Coda power amp.  I was not able to hear either amp so I based my decision on the recommendation of a dealer who sells both.  I’m liking the Krell very much. I’ve seen a lot on this forum about Coda amps but almost nothing about Krell.  Any Krell owners, enthusiasts or even detractors out there?

Sorry, but in reviewing I post I caught a minor typo. Sb “XD,” and not CD!  Enjoy the music as you’ve made a great choice.

Owned many FPB over the years and to my ear best in the era.  Heard one recently and was definitely a grandfather's amp.   SS has improved dramatically over the years.

Audioquest tried to buy KRELL, instead they bought CLASSE. KRELL will not die, but look for different ownership in the future.  Samsung wants them too as they already own Mark Levinson.

I have found memories of my KSA 80. Drove a pair or Acoustat 2 plus 2's. KSL preamp. It was amazing sound.
