The American high-end manufacturer Krell will release its first Blu-ray player, the Evolution 555, early this summer. It’s expected to reach Europe shortly afterwards with a four-figure price tag.
April 12, 2010 — Top American brand Krell will release its first Blu-ray player in early summer this year. The 15,000-dollar (9,800-GBP) aluminium-clad “Evolution 555” was first presented at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where it quickly caught the crowd’s attention and ultimately scooped the award for “Best Product”.
Have patience, high-end fans: The Krell Evolution 555 goes on sale this summer.
Originally known as a hi-fi specialist, Krell has fitted the Evolution 555 with the highest-quality components, including a 12-bit Sigma VXP video processor and 32-bit/96-kHz Sabre Reference D/A converters for the best possible sound. The luxury player is also expected, via an upgrade, to meet the HDMI 1.4 standard, allowing it to play back 3D Blu-ray Discs.
