I upgraded my system last year; went with a Foundation 4K (demo piece from my dealer’s personal system), and a NIB Chorus 7200XD. Driving a 5.2 arrangement of B&W 802 D3, HTM2, and 805 D3, with two SVS SB16 Subs. It’s an outstanding combo... visitors jaws drop when they check it out... “I’ve never heard anything like this” is a common response. That is, up until the system developed some low level static in the right rear channel for 10-15 minutes, and while I was inspecting the wiring at the speaker, the amp shutdown and displayed “Power Supply Fault Chnl 5”. I power cycled it with the A/C, and it remained in protect mode but this time displaying “High DC Output Chnl 5”. It’s currently boxed up awaiting a RMA from Krell. At 125lbs boxed up, UPS has quoted me $405 to ship it (insured) from Louisiana to Connecticut. I’ve asked Krell if they will print a label and allow me to pay for it, as I feel certain they get a better prices via contract.
I’m not mad; rather just disappointed; every electronics manufacturer is going to have a bad part every now and again; this is just bad luck. It will be interesting to see how fast they turn it around once it arrives at their facility.
