To the nut who is nuts on Krell reliability...Have you ever seen the statistics on their DOA rate on new product? Particularly in the high end gear...huge failure rates. Months and months to get product serviced. And give them a call for some friendly information? Hah! They might appreciate your business, but it definitely isn't worth the pain.
Most reliable equipment manufacturers
I would like to know people's opinions as to which are the mist reliable manufacturers. In my book, reliability means: first and foremost, reliable and continued performance of the equipment over an extended period of time, but it also includes quality of workmanship, manuals/ease of use/design, shipping materials, upgradeability, customer service, choice of dealers, etc. For instance, in my experience I give Thiel an A rating, Sony a C.
