Krell high fidelity equipments

Orange US USA

Krell Industries Inc., founded by its C.E.O. and chief designer Dan D'Agostino, is one of America's largest manufacturers of high-end audio systems. While most of their acclaim has come from their power amplifiers and CD players, and they also make preamplifiers, loudspeakers, subwoofers, and Super Audio CD players.

Krell Industries is an American brand recognized worldwide in the hi-fi sector for the manufacture of luxury audio equipment, especially amplifiers, preamplifiers, audio processors and high-power systems for audiophiles and enthusiasts. Founded in 1980 by engineer Dan D’Agostino, the company quickly gained a reputation thanks to its innovative technologies and its focus on delivering extremely precise, distortion-free sound quality. Its commitment to excellence and cutting-edge engineering has allowed it to establish itself as one of the most prestigious names in the audio industry.

Krell initially stood out with its Class A amplifiers, designed to provide pure, natural sound, eliminating noise and distortion. Among the earliest revolutionary products was the KSA-100, a Class A stereo amplifier released in the 1980s that set new standards in terms of power and sonic fidelity. This amplifier allowed listeners to experience unprecedented clarity and depth in music, and remains a milestone in the high-end audio industry.

Throughout the 1990s, Krell continued to innovate with the introduction of products such as the FPB (Full Power Balanced) 600, a high-power amplifier that leveraged balanced technology to deliver even more accurate sound reproduction. The FPB series gained wide acceptance in the market for its ability to drive high-end speakers without losing quality at any frequency, achieving exceptional sonic balance even at high volumes.

In the realm of audio processors, Krell launched the Krell Evolution One and the Evolution Two, two products that consolidated its reputation for precision engineering and were especially valued in luxury home theater configurations. These processors offered advanced control and unparalleled channel separation, ensuring that every nuance of the sound was faithfully captured and reproduced.

In addition to amplifiers and processors, Krell has also branched out into the manufacture of CD players and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), integrating CAST (Current Audio Signal Transmission) technology, a patented system that allows audio signals to be transmitted via current rather than voltage, thereby reducing distortion and improving sound purity.

Today, Krell remains a benchmark in the world of high fidelity, with standout products such as the Krell K-300i Integrated Amplifier, which combines elegant design and advanced technology to deliver superior performance in any audio setup. With its combination of craftsmanship, innovation and a constant pursuit of sonic perfection, Krell remains an iconic brand in the high-end audio sector.
