Should 2nd. Buyer Receive Guarantee ?

I am not exactly sure what the warrantee policy of KRELL is for items purchased in 2001, but for ones prior to that they do honor the warrantee going (5 years) back to the original date of manufacture. Also they are a little soft on that time-frame.
I have always found KRELL to be more than fair ........ but, I hope that they will continue the policy above.

Buy Bryston.

Yes they should.What difference does it make which owner has possesion.

It's their money, their company and their reputation and it's up to them (the manufacturer's). More important to me is, that if I have a warranty, how the service is, if needed. I seem to have read a lot of horror stories about products under warranty. I have had excellent service (small things, but nonetheless) from Castle Acoustics (UK, binding posts), Bel Canto Designs (repair of a solder connection) and Studio Tech (some small parts for my equipment rack). Service for some of the other items that I own or have owned in the past has been no more pleasant than having a root canal. A piece of paper, though comforting, does not always tell the whole story. Because of this I value the comments of the users at this site. My two bits, anyway.

once again, this is a legal question wrapped in marketing considerations. there is no federal requirement for warrantors to transfer warranties to secondary, tertiary, etc. purchasers of any product, of which i'm aware. moreover, despite the urban myths to the contrary, there is no federal or state requirement for manufacturers to maintain an inventory of repair or replacement parts for any product for any period. if you are concerned about the transferability of warranties, make your inquiries when they count, before purchase. otherwise, expect warranties NOT to be transferable, which is frequently if not usually the case. -kelly
