Difference between Krell HTS 1 & HTS 2


What exactly was wrong the original HTS 1? How did they fix it in the HTS 2? Does Krell offer an upgrade from a HTS 1 to HTS 2. I see on Krell's website they offer an upgrade from a HTS 2 to 7.1 for $1500. I just bought a HTS 1 (not even knowing about a HTS 2) cause I'm not interested in 7.1. Now I'm reading about lousy 2 channel sound in the HTS 1. Did I make a big mistake.

This is my first piece of what I would consider "high end" gear. So far it sounds good to me, but this is the beginning my system not the end and I feel my current equipment will not tell the whole story. Thanks in advance!

You'll drive yourself nuts if you worry about the new when you have the less-than-new, especially in HT processors. Hopefully, you got a good deal on the HTS1, as they're not current production. Assuming you did, and you already said you enjoy it, sit back and enjoy it some more. If you look a bit, you'll find a bunch of people that tell you it's crap and you should buy the XYZ model, or better yet, but a separate preamp, etc. etc. Enjoy it - it's a nice piece. Someday, when the rest of your system has caught up, research what's a good deal then, and consider upgrading. Until then, don't get too caught up in what you read, as it'll only lead to dissatisfaction. -Kirk
