Default Okay I will bring it up!
Is this finally Karma for forcing the founder of the company out?

It's funny but now I am glad they did force Dan out. I think Dan has stepped up his game with his latest creations.

Dan D'Agostino products would have been Krell products if he wasn't forced out. May have been called something else but they would have been his top line.

After talking to him at a couple of demos maybe or maybe not. While developing products at Krell he indicated he proved that he could drive distortion to levels with lots of leading zeros along with plenty of power. His goal with the Momentum's was to make sure they sounded great even if the "numbers" weren't SOA.

I wonder if he would have had the freedom to pursue it if he remained at Krell. We will never know.

Best Sirs,

Reading the blog, it sounds like Peter Dyroff's post says it all.

I can tell you that I am the Krell Representative and have not gotten paid for over a year and a half. Yes that indeed sounds like a company that doesn’t have money or is simply dishonest. We’ve hung around based on several sales managers promising to get us caught up and then they’re gone and payments stop again. If Rondi would like to respond then I’m all ears…but it starts with a check to pay past due commissions.

I know Peter Dyroff personally, he is a straight shooter.

I'm *shocked*. Maybe they also ran out of room to store money for paychecks In all seriousness, not paying salaries is inexcusable.

I was a manufacturer’s rep for 20 years; most of us would’ve been gone after one Quarter of no commission payments.
