Certainly designers can change their idea of what sounds good to them - witness Bob Carver's transformation into a tube maven - but I was curious as to what others thought were the reasons that even folks who never liked Krell seem pretty unanimous in their praise for D'Agostino's new amps.
Your comments make me more and more interested in the amps. I, like yourself, dislike the krell sound with a vengeance but if the new amps sound different may be they would be worth checking out...
