I've had two experiences with Krell on equipment I bought used - both times the service was exemplary. Quick turnaround, worked perfectly, little or no cost to me. Coupled with liking Krell amps a great deal, I'm not surprised Krell is an industry leader.
Great Customer Service
I just wanted to tell everyone about a great customer service experience I just had. I purchased a gently used Krell KPS30i cd player a few months ago here on Audiogon. A few days ago while changing cd's I dropped and broke the magnetic clamp that hold cd's in place. I emailed Krell inquiring about buying a replacement clamp, they promptly emailed me back saying they were looking into the availability and price of another clamp. Well today I get an email from them saying they have a clamp and would be mailing it to me free of charge immediately. Keep in mind I am the second owner and this unit is far out of warranty. I think this is a great example of a company going above and beyond. I'm not a big solid state guy and I've never owned anything by Krell before, but I would certainly consider them in the future based on this. I know they get bashed a lot, and hey if you don't like the way something sounds you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but customer service like this can't be faulted.
