Hi, Morricab!
Were the Grands Florian's?
What a toy those would be. I tried to track down a pair in L.A. but lost the scent.
This class of amp is intruiging, for sure.
I've enjoyed listening to the Channel Islands Audio D-200 monoblocks driving a pair of Von Schweikerts and was impressed, under show conditions. In fact, it was that experience that made me decide to give this class of amps a little more thought.
I'm a fan of a more "laid back" image, and these Crowns definitely move the imaging forward, but still "behind" the plain of the speakers.
It's too early to go overboard talking about their characteristics, but sometimes there is a feeling of almost "too much" information. On some older LP's, tape edits or splices suddenly become more noticeable than I have heard previously; which leads me to wonder if they are just that detailed or whether they are placing inappropriate emphasis on this aspect of the sonics. In the past, when I've run into a piece of gear that did something at a level that other gear did not, it was more than likely due to a flaw rather than a newly discovered vurtue, if that makes sense.
As I get used to them, I think I will find a way to compare them to the Channel Islands amps and some current class-D amps and see if these different implementations make for significant differences.
Anyway, thanks for the post, I look forward to future chats!
