Has anyone purchased a krell S 550 I Int amplifier

Are there any new owners who have the new integrated amplifier I understand it will be made in China. Fit, finish, sound quality. Does it justify it's 5 K asking price. Or can I do better on our shores for this kind of money? I have a pair of sonus Cremona speakers

I want one as well, nowever, it is made in china and I will not buy this model. No junk from china for me w/ regards to hi-fi gear. There are much better options here in the USA!
Happy Listening.

Amen, Jafant.

I bought my Van Alstine Synergy 450 from the factory 10 miles from my condo!
It sounds great, like a 120 watt tube amp without the hassle. Better than any Krell I ever heard
Paired with my AVA Pas4i pre, with NOS RCA 12Ax7's , driving

All Morrow wire from Kentucky, Cullen Pc's from California.

Sarah Vaughn must agree, she's singing for me in living room right now!

Hard to argue with a Hegel 300 if you have the money.
