Best sounding Krell ?

This thread is about the best sounding Krell. Some of us might see that as an opportunity to name the tallest midget.
Personally, I have only owned a couple of Krell pieces and I found them to be rather disappointing. One was an integrated that had received glowing reviews and turned out to be cheesy construction and mediocre sound.
And the looks of their amps -- Jeez, if the Pentagon was to design power amps I think they would look just like Krell.

I have to agree that the times have changed and Krell hasn't.

"Cheesy construction and mediocre sound?"

Hah, that's a good try but I'm afraid it's a rather lame flame.

And what is it that is not, in your estimation, MACROJACK?

C'mon, bait the hook, you know you can.

IMO people like Audiofeil serve a purpose...that is, their "egocentric" platitudes and condescending responses more often then not destroy the energy and the good natured spirit of a good thread!

Jppenn, you have said it my friend..I owe you a beer!!

As promised, I asked Dan D'Agostino if he could comment as to some of the sentiment expressed here. He kindly responded:

Stephen,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It always amazes me how some people can talk, with such authority, about subjects they know so little about. Most of the other companies mentioned are companies that out source their engineering. In many cases the designs are op-amp based. Both op-amp based and out-sourced designs are not bad things unto themselves, but when implementing these methods it actually defines the brand. At KRELL we design all of the products we produce. All of our designs are discrete and proprietary to KRELL. The performance of our products is superior in every way to that of other products in our industry. I speak with authority because we look at other products, and know what they offer. When you buy a Krell product you get my 29 years of experience in its sonic pedigree. You may not like it’s sound, but it is all KRELL. Perhaps KRELL is not asked for in this context because we have such a good dealer network around the world, where most other brands have very little distribution. It is sometimes laughable when I look at some of the names mentioned. We invest countless dollars pushing the envelope in terms of design and engineering, at the very least it is worth a listen. Perhaps when the ears are used instead of the eyes, the secrets of the KRELL can truly be realized.
Thank you for your support,
Daniel D'Agostino
