While the jury might still out on Krell's post-Dan longevity, I think they are doing everything right as a small, high-end focused company.
I have been home auditioning the Foundation in my system for a week now and I am going to buy it. It's first and foremost a great analog preamplifier, DAC and multichannel processor. In order to keep the price within reach, Krell has left out video processing, wireless streaming capabilities, and any streaming apps, none of which are necessary in a processor these days given that you automatically get them on BD players, TVs and Apple TV type streamers.
The sound could not be clearer and cleaner, and yet it has a more involving and musical sound than even the high end Krell preamps I heard in the past.
And, thankfully, they have gone back to making all of their products in Connecticut (at least once they formally drop the s300 and s550 integrated amps).
I say this may be Krell's finest hour when it comes to high end audio.
