    Before a war starts I can assure you that build quality at Krell is NOT going down.

    What looks like happened was that in order to get a sleeker look the engineers at Krell went with a decision to use less heaksinking per wattage than they used to have. Most people are never going to run their amps at a level that would remotely approach thermal overload anyway, so why provide such massive sinks that would never be used?

    FWIW, sleeker sells. Nobody wants to spend large $$$ on clunky looking gear. Take a look at Krells top of the line stuff. Sleek and stunning. And it better be when you could buy a 500 series Mercedes for the same $$$.

    Joseph I do not think Krell has lost their way. The amp is solidly built and fit and finish are excellent. I am enjoying the Krell S-300i very much.

    That's it!?! C'mon John, where's your fighting spirit? (Twangy guitars fade in) "Stand by your amp, give it two arms to cling to, stand by your amp..."
