What's going on at Krell

I am hoping someone in the community can give some insight as to what is going on at Krell. I have had a set of 575 mono amps in for warranty and upgrade work since March of this year. While I can appreciate the disruption to services caused by passing of their CEO in June, there is virtually no ability to contact anyone at the company. There was a very vague note on their website several weeks ago but calls to the company over the past several months are met with messages of mailboxes being full. One of the mailboxes actually has a recorded message from Rondi. This is no way to run a company of their reputation. My fears are Krell is staring at a bankruptcy, but I don't want to jump the gun and am posting this in the hope someone has some idea of what is going on at Krell and if they will survive.

All of these companies are niche companies.  McIntosh will be around a long time, they are different than any other manufacturer in this space.   You buy a McIntosh because of their reliability and ability to be serviced decades after you buy it.  

Too bad about Krell.

I think you are right stereo5...   another iconic brand gone most likely

So true about McIntosh. My Dad has kind of a dark sense of humor. He said he bought a McIntosh because he " didn’t want to leave you a piece of $#/T when I die"

McIntosh will be around a long time...they will be one the last, if not THE last high end manufacturer around.
