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.
