"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?

Dekay, how can you type sitting in front of your computer, while trying to listen to music at the same time? Wouldn't you be out of the "sweet spot" of you system set up...which we all have spent too much money trying to achieve in the first place? Sounds ironic to me.
Dekay, you sound very practicle with your set up. Since you like to listen to music and serve at the same time, have you consider using the PC as a source? I saw some new D/A sound card which was featured in Sept. issue of Stereophile, but have not read through the article in details. Has any heard anything about this product? How do you all feel about the PC eventually becoming your one source of music?

I believe greed is more than just taking from others, it's taking more than that what you need. Like it or not, greed is one of the foundation of investing. The market drives on greed a.k.a day traders for it to growth. Don't you agree?
I think everyone has a good point because everyone is right and we all should at least respect that. All these postings are just opinions and nothing more. You cannot question why another posted his opinion because after all you're only posting your opinion about their posting. Don't read it if you don't like it. It's American and we all have the right and the previledge to state our opinions. Now that I have gotten that off my chest, what do I think off all this? Well..I once saw a special on the Discovery Channel about the apes civilization and was intrique that the dominant male apes often hump the other less dominant male apes not to demonstrate their sexuality but to show their power and control within their community. Scientist now have learned our society shows similar behaviours. They discovered that us male behave the same way. Although we don't demonstrate physical humping, we show this behavior through owning expensive assets. This is how we let other males know what we have more money (a.k.a. power) than them. In conlusion, I think some of us are here in the forum to show off our what we own (how many times have we heard a new thread starting with "I own or I have or I recently purchased"), to seek advices, to show off our expertise, and to initiate in conflicts. I wonder if some of you Krell haters dislike Krell period or dislike Krell because it's not worth the price? You've got to be lying if you would take a Krell for $100. Perhaps the real question is maybe we are all in this forum because we don't have anything better to do than to talk to a bunch of strangers. Shouldn't you all be listening to your high priced stereo?
Carl, you're partially right in your profiling of me. I do work on wall street but not as a high paid broker. I am just a administrator that makes those margin/house calls for the money hungry brokers. There are too many instances when greed takes over and the investors refuses to take their profits hoping to make more. Most of them think that if they can just hang on a little longer than tell make even more money. Guess what?..those people lost all their money as fast as they made it. And you sir, if you've made as much as you said you did and didn't sell it already. I you'll be hearing from me or someone else like me....as for Krell..their products are nice, but don't you feel that they are in it for the money. They turn and burn out more models more than Hondas. Bottomline, I think most dislike Krell because of what it represents, but I am sure all would own one if the price is cheap enough.
