RE: Best Amp for Audiophile

After much wait, I purchased the new Crown xls1500, 300w/ch, digital amp. I've been using a Bryston 4BST for about 10 years now and find this new Crown amp to be as good and possibly more detailed than the Bryston. I may post some final conclusions on this in a few weeks once the unit is fully broken in. Some things about the unit: It runs very cool, slightly warm to the touch. Completely silent background, Very detailed sound, musical, great volume (as good as the Bryston, they have similar specs), great dynamics, weighs aound 12 pounds (the bryston weighs 80pounds?), Also has the ability to be used for active bi-amp. My speakers are the NewForm Research 645. All for 399 dollars. Hope this helps someone that is looking for other solutions.
