Commercial Power Amps

[MikeInNH]

I have a Crown Pl-4 which I don't use anymore since I now have home theatre. The last of the home amps by Crown. A truely nice amp for audiophile.

Very high ego guy-after all it was his initials on the product. But he was good at what he did.

The BGW was the industry standard for a while- it was much preferred over Crown.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Looking for something sans fan, I am considering a new D series crown for the LF section of my A7s (416-8A).

The D-45 and D-75A seem to be current production:

Noting the ratings are:

D-45:
20 watts into 16 ohms
25 watts into 8 ohms
35 watts into 4 ohms.

D-75A:
25 watts into 16 ohms
40 watts into 8 ohms
55 watts into 4 ohms.

Does anyone have a favorable opinion/comment on those models?
