The Crown IC150 & D150

I think the pair retailed for about $3000 which was a very high end price in the early 70s. I had to have them so put my hard-earned summer job money down. I used them with Infinity 2000As first, and then Magneplanar T-1Ds.

Beautiful to behold with vanishing low distortion, .05% or less. Early op amp front ends coupled with gobs of NFB produced sounds like nails on a chalk board. Was especially awful with the very rare Crown ES 212 & 224 speakers that might have sounded decent given a chance.

The worst audio purchase I made in 45 years!
