Krell knocked off Jeff Rowland

I had an opportunity to see the new Krell productlines. Am I seeing things or Krell designers are having designer block and they're trying knock off Jeff Rowland's design? On to bigger and better things. I also had chance to listen the Jeff Rowland's new integrated amp. The units seems to run very hot. Is it because of the new cleaner designs which has no heat sink fins? What do you felow audiogoners know about this heatsinkless design?
