You read a lot about D'Agostino nowadays but little about Krell

Maybe Krell should change it's name to Karma? I cannot say that Dan is a personal friend, but have met and spoken with him more than once. The first occasion was years ago when he was with Krell and at Christopher Hansen's first store. Fast forward years later, he was out here in So Cal with his wife Petra meeting with one of the dealers that sells his D'Agostino equipment. I just happen to be in the store chatting with the owner about buying new amplifiers. He asked what speakers I had purchased and it was on after that question. ;) He is very nice man and rather quiet until you get him going about amplifier circuits, topology, etc. I last met with him at the Newport show last year. I am glad he found his way back into high end audio. Krell, well they can kiss my a$$.  

Statman,

I haven't heard that name mentioned in years. I am talking about Christopher Hansen. I remember when he was the King of audio in Los Angeles. That must have been 25 years ago.

Latlitk,

And people wonder why consumers are so untrusting of these high end audio companies.

Lalitk "I am still waiting for a phone call / email follow up since October 2015. " - So am I. )))

The current management at Krell been cashing every ounce of goodwill, once so proudly built and maintained by Mr. Agostino. 

I can understand about the company taking a new direction but one must maintain quality control and impeccable customer service to survive in this highly competitive high end audio industry. 

I have been keeping eye on Dan's new venture and anxiously waiting for his company to go full circle with wide range of 2-CH, Multi-CH amps and HT processor. His latest 'Progression' mono amps looks stunning with a whopping 800w in 8 ohms. 

Not to get off subject, I have better luck with medium to small companies who are trying to create a niche in the high end. They are coming up with amazing products at a reasonable pricing.  And their customer service is simply stupendous.
