"Krell" is a buzzword

When I look at how the posts involving Krell deteriorate to the point of civil(actually not so civil) war, I have to say that "Krell" has become a buzzword. It seems as if you just have to mention the name, and the mobilization begins. Sooner or later the insults sink to the level that make the thread completely unrecognizable from the original question. I am more neutral than not on Krell(probably not many of us around). Used to dream about them in my bigger is better solid state days, but have since moved in other directions. Now I am a definite tubeophile, and don't even think about Krell. But, I don't say you cannot build a great system around their products. Just have to apply the right surrounding components. But don't you have to do that with many brands of amp? So, do you agree that Krell has become a buzzword, and why?

do you find it as interesting as i that posts re: automobiles on an audio site draw none of the wrath manifested by threads on krell/mit, etc.? perhaps all of us (excluding david99 and carl_eber) should join the alfa group, where we could discuss audio without hostility and intimidation. just a thought.

i've always enjoyed the alpha style, with some exceptions, but have steered away from purchasing one (or 2 or 3) 'cuz i could never afford the retainer demanded by the always-there backseat mechanic. ;>)

what is the point of this thread, trelja? do you really think it will generate more light than heat? seems to me, you're simply baiting the horde.

redkiwi: as you know, i think your posts are generally first rate. as a longtime owner of both bmw's and rolex's, however, i resent their connection to krell, a product i've listened to extesively but would never own. cheers, anyway!

sedond: i can certainly understand a bmw site going down in flames. i, too, find many other bimmer owners insufferable. as for me: i bought my first, a '69 2002, the day our first son was born. cost $3800. i've owned 7 since then and have loved each for the fun they provide to driving, whether on the daily commute or a trip through our state's mountains (colo). that first son of ours, BTW, owns a 2000 beetle (which his wife drives on her short commute) AND an '89 bmw 528i. he also inherited from me a love for audio, purchasing this year his first accuphase (integrated) and avalons. i'm very proud to say, "like father, like son." (our 2d son is cool, too, but just starting up the management ladder at qwest, saving all his $$ for an engagement ring--hooray!!). best regards.
