Big Krells Have Vanished From The Used Market


Once upon a time several years ago, you could always find several of the big Krells for sale on Audiogon.  I'm talking the 500-750 wpc big irons.  Now since Krell no longer makes anything bigger than 500 wpc, anyone with the 600, 700, 900 wpc amps are holding on to them because there's nothing new by Krell to replace them with.

Noble100 made an interesting point....MHO.....

Not so long ago, a bet was made that computer printers could be combined and made to add scan, copy, and fax functions.  Don't know if anyone or any organization collected on that bet, but it's pretty obvious that we 'won' the benefits of it.  That combination is pretty much the default now...

I don't have any doubts that class D will eventually match all existing classes in performance, even in the high power versions.  This will take awhile yet...all advances generally do.  These advances are usually driven by demand, the typical market forces that make up our civilization...whether we like that or not is more or less moot.

You want the class D of your dreams?  Vote with your wallet.  Buy what you perceive is the best of the current litter Now and start driving the technology of the future.  That's what's drove the market to where it is now and it's still on the move.

Stop whining and wishing...get out, up, and help push.

 class A or D  well I own both   NAD -m33 and 23   700 watts

also krell evolution 400  ..I switch back in forth  the nad is the cleanest and pin point imaging I have ever had in 30 plus years of high end audio driving  Kef reference 5 meta,  love the warm engaging sound krell   but love the sound of the nad  one does not need to spend thousands of dollars to to a top performing audio system -would   I buy  amplifiers  in the 25-30k range and expect higher level of sound reproduction  ..no just different  owned them all over the years

The longer an item has been out of production, the lower its circulation. That’s not specific to Krells. But big Krells have the added disadvantage that they’re heavy as hell, hard to even move a few inches, and extremely costly to ship. Plus they may need service. These serve as a barriers to re-entering the used market. Risk is high (for both parties), and reward is much lower (depreciation).

That said, I’d like to think the remaining good units have mostly found long-term homes with owners that are really enjoying them!
