Krell Reliability?


I have heard a lot about many problems encountered with any Krell equipment.
Even their kps 25sc pre/CD Player and cx series arrived already badly built from its box.

Any comments?

Hi
It is called paying tribute and honoring the wonderfull products of earlier years.Also providing usefull information
to those that need it.Audio Research just issued an upgrade for their SP3 pre-amp.Year of production 1972.
Check www.arcdb.ws to see all Audio Research products ever prodused.Check Madrigal's website they list a lot of their older products e,t,c. As far as the caps aNaRCHY one thing.
CHILL OUT BRO.
Not a concern! In July of this yearI contacted Krell motivated by a unfounded concern that my system[450mcx mono blks-kct-kps28c] was not sounding as good as I thought It used to.I contacted Krell service and talked to Steve.Steve asked a few questions and indicated that in all probability the Krell eqpt.would not be the cause.However; Steve recognized my concern and if I wished to I could bring the equipment in for a check.He was correct,no eqpt.problem and no charge for this service.They were very courteous and professional throughout the process. I live 40 mi away and delivered/pick-up eqpt.personally .This is a top notch Company that stands behind their well built products.
I have a Krell KSA 200s Amplifier and a KPS-25sc front end that have been flawless in every way. Krell is renowned for their build quality. You have set some sort of record with two failures in a row. I am not in the least implying that you did not have these problems, but it is really un-Krell like.
im very suprised by your bad experiences with krell gear, ive only owned two krell products but my experiences with them was fantastic in fact its the best sounding gear ive ever owned & was built like a tank.

if i could find gear that had the styling of mcintosh & the build & sound of krell my adventure in audio would be over.

I've had my 300cx for almost two years and it has performed flawlessly. I would definetly consider a Krell product again.
