Krell Reliability?

1) Kav 300i- problem (changing) the front panel.
2) Krc 3- no problems (I had it for 2 month)
3) Krc-hr- fixed before I bought it.
4) Kav 250a- problem with the power button on the front panel.
5) Fpb 200c (first)- no problems at all.
6) Fpb 250mc- no problems at all.
7) Fpb 200c (second)- no problems at all.
8) Kps 25sc- 1. problem (changing) power supply, 2. happand 3 days ago, still don’t know what is the problem?
9) Fpb 400cx (first)- replace by Krell.
10) Fpb 400cx (second)- yesterday its turned off & one side is warmer then the other one.
11) Kps 25sc- (belong to the importer- now its in my home) problem with one side & cast cards.

I still like Krell's products.

a coworker of mine has a ton of krell gear & he simply raves about the gear itself & the service dept.

i personally dont own krell gear but i like what i see & hear when i demo it at my local dealer, i cant see krell being shoddy gear at all.

I have an all Krell system made up of two FPB 600c stereo amplifiers, a 28c CD player, KCT preamp, KPE phono preamp and CAST cabling. All have worked flawlessly for two years except the CD player. A couple of days after purchasing the 28c, the player wouldn't power up. I called Krell's sales and service departments and they Fed Exed a brand new one to me the following day. Great customer service!

I have owned a KSA 150 and a Krc II preamp in the past for many years without any problems.
I currently own KRC-HR pre-amp and a 400cx amp both function as well today as they did when new!!!
Built to last.

Good luck

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the Krell sound (though I certainly hear why people like it) but I do have to say I've not heard of Krell having any sustained reliability issues.

Just to take Telemoli's experience, most likely a component failed--hardly something to blame the manufacturer for. And I've heard only good things about their service, as T's post demonstrates.
