Offered is „Krell S1500/3“ by Krell as second-hand device from the category „Transistor-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6628702514 ends on 14.10.2026 at 06:03 o'clock.
Condition is good, and at €1,800 this lands essentially on top of the €1,811 median for recent EUR comps, so it reads as fair value rather than a bargain. It also sits just above the €1,784 25th percentile, which is a decent place to be for a desirable piece that is not being priced aggressively.
The appeal here is the Krell name: these are respected for strong current delivery, grip, and a big, authoritative presentation that suits demanding speakers. For a clean, well-kept unit at this level, the upside is getting serious performance without paying a premium; I’d mainly want to confirm the usual AV-receiver basics like full channel function, remote, and any required setup items, but there is no obvious pricing red flag here.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
