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.
I owned a large chunk of Danny Boys work. Sometimes myth replaces fact...they were very robust designs and overbuilt, reflective of the age. I loved my FPB 600, FPB 400cx, KCT, Evolution 400, 202, 505 combo as well! As I said, the Vanguard thrills me today as much as the older designs and in some ways more so. Some of the real brains and engineers are still there as well.
I think Dave b is all over it. As I remember it when Dan was there much Krell bashing was to be suffered. Same as Wilson etc. The products I have are very good. At the discounting occurring on audiogon someone could do themselves a big favor and pick up an ibias amp. Fans are dead silent with high Class A output. Would love someone to have a pass vs Krell shootout.
Wadia isn't the company it used to be. They will never be the same all original people who designed and produced their products in the past are no longer part of the company today. Don't expect them to produce anything ultra hiend or another disc player.
