Honestly, I was not able to hear either the Krell or Coda. Both were highly recommended by the same dealer (Dave Lalin) but he had a higher recommendation for the Krell despite the higher price. He arranged for the CEO of Krell to call me and discuss the amps features which was very helpful. I also spoke to the top guy at Coda who was equally helpful. Both seem to be good companies. In the end, I relied on the recommendation of a dealer who knows my system, has a good ear and sells both products. So far, I’m happy. And I wouldn’t go along with some arbitrary weight requirement.
Right. Of course not. That would be silly.
To go along with the recommendation of a dealer, and a manufacturer, sight unheard, that’s eminently sensible due diligence.
And yet, the line I will always savor is:
Both were highly recommended by the same dealer (Dave Lalin) but he had a higher recommendation for the Krell despite the higher price.
The dealer had a higher recommendation DESPITE the higher price. Wow. Whatever you do, stick with Dave. He really knows his customers!
