Orange, CT, June 22, 2024 – It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rondi D’Agostino, CEO of Krell Industries, on Tuesday, June 18, 2024. As one of the last privately owned and family-operated companies in the high-end audio industry, this loss is deeply personal for the entire Krell family.

Rondi D’Agostino was a remarkable individual whose love for music was evident in every aspect of her life. From early Grateful Dead shows in San Francisco and witnessing Bob Dylan plug in for the first time at the fabled 1965 Newport Folk Festival to working a vintage clothes stand at Woodstock, her formative years read like a chapter in the annals of rock history.

Rondi’s career began at Mark Levinson, where she met Dan D’Agostino, and together they founded Krell Industries. Her determination, kindness, and hardworking nature were unmatched and inspired everyone around her.

Krell Industries, founded in December 1980, has been a leader in high-end audio solutions for over four decades. Known for its dedication to sound science, engineering excellence, and audio innovation, Krell has consistently set industry standards under Rondi’s visionary leadership. This commitment to excellence remains steadfast as we continue to honor her legacy. She will be deeply missed by us all.

In honor of Rondi’s legacy and to allow time for the D’Agostino family and the Krell team to grieve, Krell Industries will be closed for the next few weeks. We fully intend to honor all existing orders and repair requests during this period, but we ask for your understanding as new orders or requests may experience a delay of up to 30 days. In the interim, we will do our best to respond to all customer service and dealer support requests. We appreciate your patience and support as we navigate this incredibly difficult time and look forward to resuming business with you all very shortly.
