Hey all
I have been hit by a terrible mishap/ luckiest day of my life thing
:-)
Huge lightning strike took out most of my system, Krell monoblocks,HTS5 amp,Both 802D's have damage, along with an 805s, toasted my arcam dv29,and did some other peripherial damage,( yes it was all surge protected, but apparently the lightning got around it
im not crying to loud yet
I have replacement value insurance, not only does my insurance have to buy me all new stuff at full new retail price, the few items that are no longer made they have to pay the difference in that to,no matter how much more the costs have gone up
so, the conundrum so to speak is like this
i could go back Krell, of course, jump into some of the evolution line,maybe mix in some classe in the digital, or just abandon ship and do just about anything
the speakers can all be fixed in theory of course, but i might lean towards replacement, as they are both very deeply fried,
now the other choice, send it all to Krell, have it rebuilt, pocket a big wad of change and upgrade maybe one item with some insane piece, ( thinking esoteric player)
This is actually causing me some grief as i have so many choices, i mean, the thought of starting all over again with a system with almost no limits and some very big free upgrades is also causing me to rethink which way to go
so
any opinions mucho appreciated
hail to the lightning kings
hahaha
