Mike Piazza Goes To Bat For Krell

1-Feb-01

Mike Piazza, famed power hitter and catcher for the New York Mets, and Dan D'Agostino, CEO and Chief Designer of Krell Industries, Inc. have joined forces in an effort that will publicize their friendship and mutual respect. Mr. Piazza has agreed to appear in Krell advertisements and other promotional material to help ""spread the word"" about Krell's high end audio equipment.""I have no interest in being a paid endorser for an audio brand - the fact is I can afford to buy any audio gear I want,"" said Mr. Piazza, who is an avid audiophile and music lover as well as a professional athlete. ""But I do have a strong personal interest in getting more people to experience great sound. I love seeing people's eyes light up the first time they hear music played through a Krell system.""Mr. Piazza and Mr. D'Agostino were introduced to one another by a mutual acquaintance about five years ago. Even before they met, Mr. Piazza had been a fan of Krell audio equipment, and they have been good friends ever since.""I have a lot of respect for Mike,"" said Mr. D'Agostino. ""When he offered to help us promote our company's products, I was thrilled. After all, Mike is a highly visible professional athlete with an enormous following. At the same time, I wanted to proceed cautiously. I wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize our special friendship.""From his perspective, Mr. Piazza is very comfortable lending his name to the Krell cause. ""If someone who would otherwise never have gotten involved in high end audio becomes a Krell fan because of me, then I'd feel I've done that person a great service. Plus, I'm happy to do this for Dan and his crew because they really are good people.""For more information on Krell or any Krell product, visit www.krellonline.com.
