Krell Moves to new location


hiend2

@bulldogger  Thank you for the reassuring update.  I read your post with interest and I wanted to ask you about one sentence that i did not understand:

"Steve owns ALL of the Krell assets, Krell still belongs to Kris D'Agostino."

This sounds a little self contradictory.  What am I missing?

also, @bulldogger purchased, I quote, "a used Krell KSA-i400 from High Performance Stereo, Steve’s other business, today. It’s at the Krell factory."

High Performance Stereo is in Miami. Krell is in Connecticut. Does that mean High Performance Stereo is selling used gear out of the Krell factory?

I just interpret the signs as they appear. Taken together, they don’t paint a pretty picture, I am sorry.

If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say that if Krell ever resumes production it will start remaking old icons like KSA-100, decked out in audiophile wire, RCA connectors and $300 binding posts, and sell them for $25,000 or $30,000. They still own all the schematics and gerbers (one hopes), so restarting small-batch production is an absolute no-brainer (ie it really takes no brains at all). All the IP was buttoned down 45 years ago.

 

By the way, to anyone's knowledge, has Dan d'Agostino ever publicly commented on this whole dumpster fire? It must chafe to see what happened to his once-revered company.

Krell ceased being Krell MANY moons ago. While I’m sure Dan D’ was sad at the passing of the mother of his children and the steady slide of Krell through the years likely evoked similar feelings, I doubt that the current state of affairs at Krell is any surprise to him.
