Sorry to hear that Ivan. I believe this is a quite common problem with the S1500, which was essentially the same as the Showcase line of multichannel amps. I had a Showcase 5 for a while, which did not give me problems, but the small caps on the channel boards dry out and the channels can start to fail. My 3250 and 2250 have been rock-solid, even if by now they have gotten quite old. Patrick when still at Krell gave me the contacts of a very good Krell-specialised technician in Holland, which may come in handy if/when I have any issues.

Unfortunately though, Patrick has retired, and I think what Krell service told me now (although they were quick to answer) regarding the S1200 is incorrect. Which I find a bit surprising, since they explicitly market their rather new 4K HDR switching box as compatible with the S1200, but requiring a firmware update.

Were you able to upgrade the firmware on your (your son's) S1200 in the past?
