Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line

That might very well be true, but Dan is the one the "public" knows about and for the most part the sense is that the connection between Dan the man and Krell the company is that they are one and the same, rightly or wrongly. Not sure what will happen to the Krell brand and product line in the future, but it is not the same without Dan (which does not mean it can't be a better company with better product, but it is just not the same Krell post-Dan). There may very well be a depth of design talent there to keep Krell viable moving forward.

I find your innuendo disgracefull! either you know something for FACT or you do not. To make a suggestion like yours without facts or backing up is wrong. Who are you? Did you work for Krell? Do you have some intrest in Krell now? Either prove your point or say nothing. I have no intrest in krell any longer nor am I in the market for new SS gear, but I never had an issue with the co while Dan was head. I owned differant Krell gear over 15yrs. Your accusation is ridiculous, there is always someone with a complaint. So put up or shut up!

Compettition is good. High end is hurting with the economics of Obama. And $40,000 amps and pramps is ridiculous. I wish Dan luck-he will need it

Not all amps have been designed by by Nelson Pass himself. Same at Krell.

Obama caused the collapse of Wall Street? invented credit default swaps and debt obligations, convinced O'neil at Merrill to ignore the ten-fold increase in exposure to sub-prime mortgages, which led to the hemorraging of constuction and manufacturing jobs, the implosion of the mortgage and housing market and the world-wide debt induced recession? I'm confused, but I haven't watched Fox News for a while. Well maybe Jeb will come to the rescue and provide a path to sustainable, productive growth for the economy and the resurgence of high-end audio, he can always lean on his brother for good advice on steering the economy to prosperity, hey, wait a second.....

I know Wayne Colburn did a lot of design work on Pass preamps, but I was not aware of any significant design work done on the amps (circuit design, not casing)other than by Nelson Pass.
