If you are listening through the RCA inputs that is the sound of the RCA-input connectors. I had a loaner XLS1500 here for a week or two, and found that the sound is much improved using the XLR inputs, also using the speakon connectors had a similar improvement over the banana connectors.

Actually, my system is fully balanced and the Crown XLS 1500 is sounding pretty good now. I leave it powered on continuously and the highs have improved. My speaker wires have Nakamichi banana plugs. Anyway, I kind of like the sound of the Crown. One of these days I'll go back to the Parasound Halo A21. I'm sure the Parasound is the better sounding amp, but there is something about the Crown that makes me want to keep listening for a while. ;-)
Thanks,

Good to hear John, I remember being sucked into the micro-details the amp seemed to do well, I just thought the 'midrange and upper bass' was the weakest part of the amp...I experimented with a variety of footers and ended up with a combo of hard (BDR cones)at the rear and soft (dead balls)in front, coupled with a little weight on top(> 10lbs) The amp is so light it felt like a toy. lol
I found it to be a very colored amplifier in every way.......
Go Rossi ......
