"Krell" is a buzzword

When I look at how the posts involving Krell deteriorate to the point of civil(actually not so civil) war, I have to say that "Krell" has become a buzzword. It seems as if you just have to mention the name, and the mobilization begins. Sooner or later the insults sink to the level that make the thread completely unrecognizable from the original question. I am more neutral than not on Krell(probably not many of us around). Used to dream about them in my bigger is better solid state days, but have since moved in other directions. Now I am a definite tubeophile, and don't even think about Krell. But, I don't say you cannot build a great system around their products. Just have to apply the right surrounding components. But don't you have to do that with many brands of amp? So, do you agree that Krell has become a buzzword, and why?

cornfedboy, the alfa digest is actually quite a civilized mailing list - sure, ruffled feathers once in a while, but never anything like that which takes place here. the pantera-digest is actually a bit worse than the alfa-digest, but still doesn't hold a candle to what goes on here.

the bmw digest, on the other hand, which used to be run by the same guy who runs the alfa digest, was shut down by the guy cuz it got so bad, so i've been told by those who know... i wonder if it's cuz bmw's attract status seekers as well as enthusiasts, similar to hi-end audio... hmmm.... ;~)

You boys have TIN EARS and are STUPID, STUPID, STUPID! everyone with half a brain knows that those little engines have NO BOTTOM END. I mean, you might as well just turn off the whole left side of your graphic equilizer, AND I MEAN ALL 10 OF THEM! Those little cars are just SIBILANCE ON THE HIGHWAY. IDIOTS! EVERYONE KNOWS A BIG BLOCK OLDS IS THE ONLY WAY GO! I AM RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. ROCKET 455.

sedond: i can certainly understand a bmw site going down in flames. i, too, find many other bimmer owners insufferable. as for me: i bought my first, a '69 2002, the day our first son was born. cost $3800. i've owned 7 since then and have loved each for the fun they provide to driving, whether on the daily commute or a trip through our state's mountains (colo). that first son of ours, BTW, owns a 2000 beetle (which his wife drives on her short commute) AND an '89 bmw 528i. he also inherited from me a love for audio, purchasing this year his first accuphase (integrated) and avalons. i'm very proud to say, "like father, like son." (our 2d son is cool, too, but just starting up the management ladder at qwest, saving all his $$ for an engagement ring--hooray!!). best regards.
