Krell Service

I find it comical that you pay top dollar for Krell, and when you call you get snobby attitude (Jim Ludivichino) and slow service. Probably trickles down from the owner DD who is not quite the nicest guy in town...Paaaaaaaalease. To pay Krell prices the service should be superb. I am finding this to be a problem with VTL too, although they aren't nearly as big as Krell. Go figure, they all overcharge and under deliver.

Maybe thats why our hobby is so uninteresting to most people. a shame

Perhaps you are correct about Dan Agostino!I never met or talked to him,so I can't confirm your findings.I got an
md-1 and sbp-64x and I called and talked to Patrick and he was very helpful and nice on the phone.He left a few phone messages at my place,while at work too.I can't argue with the other guys regarding Patrick at least.
I am sorry to hear your problems with Krel or VTL.One company that delivers in spades is Rogue and Mark O'Brien
the owner.I own their amps and every time I called I was treated super nice.I also had a positive experience with ARC,regarding a repair and retubing on my Dac-3.

I live in the area. Those guys are great. they let me drop off my amp in the morning, then jump back on the highway for work. The amp has been in for service twice and always it was back in a week/ten days, repaired under warranty, then shipped at their cost. One time I picked the amp up and they helped me load it in the wagon and away I went. They could not be nicer. And I just picked up a new EVO 402 with the trade in program and the sound is unlike any previous Krell amp. It sure was a VERY BIG upgrade from the previous amp, a 400cx.

I just sent a cd player in for service. They have had it for almost two weeks, given that was over New Year's, but their latest response is it will be another 2-3 weeks to get a response on what is the problem and what the cost will be. I am not happy with this kind of service from a hi-end manufacturer.

Sent a DT-10 transport in. The response was about 2 weeks but try to do better. That is a reasonable amount of time for me to wait. I was able to talk to the service dept. supervisor a few times. Very friendly and helpful. The transport came back working like new. Krell has among the best follow-through and cusomer service that I've dealt with in any business. Today most companies wont pick up the phone much less return calls. I dont believe that you will ever see this happen with Krell. A very good experience and I intend to be a Krell customer for many years.
