What ever happened to Krell ?

John 1 has come out of retirement apparently to enlighten us on the ways of audio!  Jeepers, thanks so much audio guru guy...I'll bet you have added a lot of insight over the years.  Can't wait to read your other informative posts.  What?  No posts?  Darn...I'll just have to suffer in darkness.

I actually bought a Chorus 5200 a month or so ago and I am blown away. I feel like I'm hearing my ML electrostats for the first time. But I had only been using an AVR the whole time, no dedicated power amp. I did an a/b w/ Parasound at the store I bought from, and I slightly preferred the Krell. I got a steal on the floor model which also led to my decision. I must say, I think the build quality is excellent, and mine actually has an all black faceplate - the shop I purchased from had Krell install rack ears, and they swapped the faceplate. So, for me, I love the look too! I'm a newbie though, so take that for what its worth LOL

Can anyone point me to one of the big krell discounting dealers. I'm looking for a duo 125 or 175. Thanks! You can private message me too! 

To anyone who is a Dan D'Agostino fan, go audition one of his current amps from D'Agostino Master Audio Systems. I did, and bought an S-250. I found it more musical in my system, and to my ears, than at least a dozen competitors, both tube and solid state.

I know this is an old thread, but for anybody who might come across this in 2020, I want to say that I'm a recent Krell Konvert and I think the Vanguard and Connect streamer are mind-blowingly good. I had a wonderful Benchmark DAC3 and very good class D amp and the Krell kombo absolutely krushes them. I paid the same used as the others cost new, and I'm in a different galaxy of clarity, power, bass grip, soundstage depth.
