Offered is „Home Theater Standard HTS 5.1 Surround Sound Preamp Prozessor / 240V“ by Krell as second-hand device from the category „Amplifier (incl. Surround)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3246751408 ends on 17.11.2026 at 14:25 o'clock.
It’s a buyer’s market for this kind of older high-end surround processor, and €1,249 lands well below the €1,520 25th percentile, so this looks like a strong deal rather than just a fair price. Against a €2,544 median and €5,458 75th percentile, it’s priced low enough to be genuinely attractive if it’s fully functional.
That’s especially true for a Krell piece like this: the brand has a solid reputation for serious build quality, clean analog performance, and a proper reference-style home theater pre/pro experience. At this level, the main upside is value—if it’s complete, powers up cleanly, and all channels and inputs work, a buyer gets a lot of pedigree for the money. The only things worth checking are standard age-related basics: remote, firmware/format support for your setup, and that every input/output behaves as expected.

Krell Industries, founded in 1980 in the United States by Dan D'Agostino and his wife Rondi, emerged from a passion for pushing audio engineering boundaries. Based initially in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and later settling in nearby Orange, the brand drew its name from the advanced alien race in the 1956 film Forbidden Planet, symbolizing limitless technological power. The company's debut at the 1981 Consumer Electronics Show with the KSA-100, a high-power Class A amplifier, sparked immediate demand and established Krell as a force in American hi-fi innovation.
Krell specializes in high-end amplification, with its power amplifiers—epitomized by flagships like the Master Reference Amplifier—earning legendary status for their raw dynamics and precision. The lineup extends to preamplifiers, surround sound processors, digital-to-analog converters, CD and Super Audio CD players, loudspeakers, and subwoofers, all engineered for uncompromised performance in music and home theater systems.
Positioned firmly at the pinnacle of the high-end audio market, Krell commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its cutting-edge circuitry, massive power supplies, and relentless pursuit of sonic excellence. A top-tier brand alongside legends like Levinson and Threshold, it appeals to buyers seeking reference-level gear that defines the genre, even amid recent ownership transitions following Rondi's passing in 2024.
