Any love for newer Krell amps?

I recently bought a Krell Duo 175 xd power amp, after debating between it and a less expensive Coda power amp.  I was not able to hear either amp so I based my decision on the recommendation of a dealer who sells both.  I’m liking the Krell very much. I’ve seen a lot on this forum about Coda amps but almost nothing about Krell.  Any Krell owners, enthusiasts or even detractors out there?

The Krell weighs 60 pounds total. 
Honestly, I was not able to hear either the Krell or Coda. Both were highly recommended by the same dealer (Dave Lalin) but he had a higher recommendation for the Krell despite the higher price.  He arranged for the CEO of Krell to call me and discuss the amps features which was very helpful.  I also spoke to the top guy at Coda who was equally helpful. Both seem to be good companies.  In the end, I relied on the recommendation of a dealer who knows my system, has a good ear and sells both products.  So far, I’m happy.  And I wouldn’t go along with some arbitrary weight requirement.  The Krell does have fans which presumably replace some heavy heat sinks. The fans are virtually noise free.

millercarbon-I really appreciate your sarcasm. You obviously are a very nice person (couldn’t resist emulating your sarcastic example).
