Hi all,
I apologise if this topic has been covered in recent years but I've tried Googling and not come up with much for this forum on the subject so here goes.
Has anyone any experience of so-called professional power amps such as those made by Crown in a domestic environment? If so, I would really appreciate your thoughts and opinions. Crown appear to produce a number of meaty power amps at incredible prices (compared to audiophile options). In particular, they have a line in Class D that range from approx £300 to £1500. Why are they so cheap? Is it that they sound harsh or bright or is it that they are just 'no-frills' (like certain very popular supermarkets at the moment!) and are just not considered sexy enough to live in the average domestic environment? Interesting to note that Crown appear to be a division of Harman Kardon which have a very good reputation for quality hi fi kit.
