I know they're still in business but it seems to me they've lost their hiend status they once had. I might be wrong ,but looking at their products of late the build quality and visual appeal looks cheaper.
Dennis was the designer of what used to be called the "classic" line of products. These are the ones that won all the accolades, and put Cary on the map.
Once he left, I have yet to hear a Cary product that I would consider especially noteworthy. Just my opinion.
I respectfully disagree on including Mark Levinson. Their products continue to be very much in the same vein as the originals in terms of performance, aesthetics and desirability.
Personally, I can't say the same for the new Cary or Krell products.
I have to say that regardless of aesthetics and politics the two recent Krell units that I have exude quality with great sound. If you haven't operated and listened to a newer unit a valid comment can't be made. One thing is for sure, the new units would never be criticized for being dry or anything less than musical. People forget that Krell bashing was in full swing during Dan's era also. Some designer(s) are doing good work at Krell except for the controversial styling.
