Any thoughts on Krell

Just wondering if anyone out there is getting frustrated with Krells continued changing of product lines and designs. I have been a very loyal Krell user, but I am feeling that Krell has changed their business philosophy. I have coughed up a ton of dough on KPS25SC, KAS's, FPB's, and the AVS which turned out to be non upgradable. each time I settle in to these large investments, Krell changes the look and the entire line. The value of the "last version" drops like a rock for all of us users. Unlike a brand like McIntosh that has a philosphy of at least leaving the appearance the same. Perhaps I am bit sensitive on this topic. Any thoughts?

I think this upgrade thing is way outta hand.

If you don't like the looks in the first place, go for something else !

Like Jmcgrogan2, I prefer the older KSA series, for sonics and looks.

I'm not saying products should never improve, but a well-designed topology should last longer.

Yeah, we're here on AudiogoN for a good deal, so that part IS beneficial.

AC treatment seems to be the important "upgrade" as of later years, that's where I'm at.
