Is it just me?
Is it just me, or is there something a bit 'whiffy' about these ebay adds?

Re: Is it just me?
Hi
Zero feedback sellers starting with this sort of kit ...... plus the descriptions don't carry the ring of the audio enthusiast. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole - even if the amp changed from a semiconductor monster to a single ended wonder (thermionic naturally) . Just my view though and I've missed more e bay bargains than I've won! Jerry

Re: Is it just me?
I'd be very thoughtful - how do you report suspicious eBay ads?
ugly looking stuff though isn't it! I borrowed a Krell something once; back in the days when I was using ATC speakers. I was not impressed by the Krell.

Re: Is it just me?
Andrew, I get the impression you are not easily 'impressed'!!!
Or do you mean that you were impressed, but not favorably?

Re: Is it just me?
nice distinction!
um... think of what yer average Marantz ammp sounds like. Multiply it by say five and that's whatKrell sounded like, to me. Still got the problems of soloid state but you've also got more guts. Solid State amps I did like were ATC intergrated and Aragorn (huge american jobbie).

Re: Is it just me?
Tried e-mailing the Braintree-Krell-person as to whether they would take cash on collection. No reply.
These Krell models all come from the late 1980s & early 90s. I borrowed a CD-DSP from Audio Excellence (Cardiff) in 1999 & was not impressed. As mentioned earlier "they trample delicacy in the quest for detail"; there was lots of detail & it made your fillings rattle! Martin

They'll be very poor if they are (as I suspect) non-existent!
