Big Krells Have Vanished From The Used Market

Once upon a time several years ago, you could always find several of the big Krells for sale on Audiogon.  I'm talking the 500-750 wpc big irons.  Now since Krell no longer makes anything bigger than 500 wpc, anyone with the 600, 700, 900 wpc amps are holding on to them because there's nothing new by Krell to replace them with.

The big Krell amps are still out there.  The owners are holding on to them because there is nothing new by Krell to replace them.

Most of the big krell's are either dead or still in use driving the out of production large panel speakers.Probably the same for levinson as well.

They become boat anchor because most owners find them too expensive to repair or rebuild. Others, pay up and keep them for bragging rights.

+1 on that cap.

If you go back a couple of years there were a glut of them on the used market, people started ditching them with the promise" of Class-D potentially turning them boat anchors, and vision of loosing a fist full of dollars, how quickly that turned around.
Now they are never seen on the used market and in there place come many of the high end Class-d’s being advertised used, and it’s no wonder once you’ve A/B them.
Every forum classifieds section seems to have a Devialet Class-d or something similar for sale.
