Re: I loved my old Crown SL-2 (Straightline) preamp.

But its design theme seems diametrically opposed to this amplifier's. The SL-2 was about as simple as a preamp could be - and pure, glorious class A! Please don't take this the wrong way (these are just opinions/preferences), but I question the desirability of DSP in an amplifier.

When I shopped for a bargain pre/pro, one primary criterion was that it be endowed with a 6 channel throughput that *stayed* analog - that's less common that you'd think. Once the signal leaves my SACD player, I want as little done to it as possible.

Just how many brands are under the ownership of Harman International? It's nice to hear that Crown is still manufacturing in the US.
