On a related note, I just went down a long thread about amplifiers elsewhere and I found this online review for an amp of brand X. The guy, hilariously IMHO, goes on at length about how terrible Krell amplifiers were because he bought 2 different models and they each failed in a month. What he misses, based on his own description, is that both of his amps were taken out by electrical surges.
Don't be that guy.
