Have a look at the McIntosh Group on Wikipedia! Mergers, splits, management buyouts, asset managers, switch from US to Italian head Office then back to US. Just like most of the rest of the HiFi industry really ...
What's going on at Krell
I am hoping someone in the community can give some insight as to what is going on at Krell. I have had a set of 575 mono amps in for warranty and upgrade work since March of this year. While I can appreciate the disruption to services caused by passing of their CEO in June, there is virtually no ability to contact anyone at the company. There was a very vague note on their website several weeks ago but calls to the company over the past several months are met with messages of mailboxes being full. One of the mailboxes actually has a recorded message from Rondi. This is no way to run a company of their reputation. My fears are Krell is staring at a bankruptcy, but I don't want to jump the gun and am posting this in the hope someone has some idea of what is going on at Krell and if they will survive.

McIntosh gear has always been excellent. I still have my MR65B, the first stereo tube FM tuner that the company ever manufactured, and it sounds great. I even have a second MR65B for spare parts. The only Krell gear I ever owned was a first generation KSA 50. I still marvel at that 50 wpc pure Class A gem. Its dual mono construction was a work of art. |
RIP Krell- Their former headquarters is up for lease as offices per an Orange, Ct. commercial real estate broker. website. The Buildng's interior photos show an empty office and various For Lease signs outside the building. The Krell website is also gone. Based on these observations I doubt they will be making a comeback anytime soon. Are there any conclusive facts which show they are still in business? If so, please elaborate. If you have any equipment that was with Krell or owed money, you may need to check and/or file a claim with the Ct. Probate court against the estate for whatever it is that you are owed. RIP Krell. |
Th Krell Industries web site is not gone. please see their link below: Please see Krell Industries web site below: Unfortunately, I have no additional information on the status of Krell Industries. However, if I had equipment at Krell Industries for repairs, I would be VERY concerned. I also agree with the above post, @nmolnar, that you need to check and/or file a claim with the CT. Probate Court ASAP. I also suggest you not delay your claim, etc. any longer. |
