Krell Moves to new location

Why on earth would that Buehler guy provide detailed updates to hgeifman but not to the company's own customers like a normal person would?

Chances are some small-time investment fund is buying the Krell name and trademarks as we speak, and brainstorming a relaunch. What will future Krell gear look like?

a. Home theater components made in Cambodia to avoid Chinese tariffs and sold by Best Buy and Costco, or

b. Legend revival - a modern-day KSA-250 with $2,500 worth of WBT binding posts, a platinum-veneered front fascia and a $65,000 sticker

Thanks for your comments above and I agree with everything you posted.    

I emailed your comments to Wil Buhler Managing Partner, JF Bicking & Co. for his review.  Unfortunately, I do not work for Krell Industries, but I can send emails to the people at Krell Industries.

I said in my email to Wil that everyone is anxiously waiting for Krell’s' press release next week and I hope it addresses the issues mentioned above. Krell Industries absolutely MUST communicate with its customers, retailers and vendors regarding what is going on.  "I know the JF Bicking is a strategic advisory firm and might be breaking up Krell Industries or who knows what. The lack of communication means KRELL is doing irreparable harm to the customer relations aspect of your business".

One person commented with "why would Wil Buehler provide detailed updates to hgeifman (me) but not to the company's own customers like a normal person would?”.    He probably communicated with me because I sent him so many emails.  Maybe you should do the same.  His email address in on the Krell Industries Web site.  This issue cannot be solved by Audiogon members posts. 

Obviously, Krell Industries needs to start communicating with its customers, retailers and potential customers.  I asked "Will Krell Industries re-open for business and when?"   

Someone also said "Chances are some small-time investment fund is buying the Krell Industries name and trademarks as we speak, and brainstorming a relaunch.  What will future Krell gear look like?”

Krell Industries is great audio company, and it bothers me to see various Audiogon forum posts complaining about the situation and Krell Industries not responding with effective communication.   

Me:  I do not know if Krell Industries will return as it was, into something else or go out of business.   Their lack of communication is not good sign so now we wait.

@srace1  This whole situation seems odd to me. It seems like Will Buhler and JF Bicking would and should have been prepared for something like this if they have a stake in the company.

@invalid Exactly. My guess at this point is that they are just “flipping,” the brand and have no intention of being the owners. The behavior so far is not that of a person looking to own this company. I don’t expect to see a press release this week either. That looks like a stalling tactic. We will just have to wait and see who buys Krell.

Okay, all good information.  However like others, I do have a KSA-200s there for repair.  He mentions that the equipment would be shipped back to everyone.  I spent 500 bucks to ship it there back in March.  Yes, I would like to get my amp back but I would like it repaired first.  I guess getting it back broken is better than not getting it back at all but.....I then wasted good money to ship it there.  Lets hope on the bright side that this all works out for everyone.
