Krell Intergrateds..how come nobody likes em?

The same companies come up with Intergrateds...Classe, Plinius, Blue Circle, ML, SimAudio, YBA...just curious, how come no love for the Krell stuff? Is it harsh? Can somebody explain the sound to me? Don't hold any punchs, I didn't want to lure a bunch of Krell owners here and sugar coat there intergrateds.

When you're the best in class you attract all the detractors. Kind of a backhanded complement; I'm sure Dan D'agostino knows this.
And while we're on it, Thiel too.

I have come to the conclusion that some folks simply want Krell gear to sound harsh and bright. The reason for this escapes me but it may have something to with the fact that they make such great electronics. Tall blades of grass are the first to be cut down.

The same goes for Thiel. Perish the thought that anyone in their right mind would ever run these these two brands in combination...like I do. ;-)

Cheers
