This is a very old and well known problem with the Krell. The overheating and sparks have been captured in this image.
Recall of Krell Amplifiers
I just received information that the US CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) in conjunction with Krell Industries has recalled 2,300 of their KAV-250a, KAV-250a/3, KAV-500 and KAV-1500 amps due to 50 reports that the amps overheat causing smoke and electrical fires. A component input device can fail and cause the amps to overheat posing burn and fire hazards to consumers. These amps were sold between January 1997 through to February 2001 for between $3,000 and $8,000. Consumers should immediately stop using the amps and contact Krell to schedule free installation of replacement fuses. The number is (888) 436-6055 between 9:00am and 4:30 pm EST, or go to their website at www.krellonline.com or e-mail at service@krellonline.com

And this all goes to show, as Winston Churchill once said, you can fool some of the Audiogoners all of the time, and all of the Audiogoners some of the time, but you can not fool all of the Audiogoners all of the time. Al you are quite right that the Id Monster was unleashed by the massive mind amplifying power of the Krell machines (almost the whole planet was a massive mind amplifier) and the sparks were indeed flying as it came up against the Cruiser's force field. And by the way, the ladies swoon for Robby the Robot - he is one classy fella. |
