Its running cool as, and making my Prima Luna Dialogue HP Premium seem like a child's toy. Pity about the transformer hum. Looks like I have found a second Macro Tech too. Can anyone tell me how these compare to the K1, K2 etc? This thing sounds amazing. What would be it's equivalent in the new Crown range? Thanks. Macrotech is an older generation. Late 80s early 90s. ,--- K1, K2 have much more in the way of speaker protection Certain K Models may also have switching power supplies to lessen weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i have had a few crest ca series and i absolutely love them. They are heavy but for home usage does not matter. Currently i have a ca12 powering Danley sh60's. Bass is tight, highs non fatiguing, and POWER and head room which i love. I had a ca4 and also a ca6 for a while. All great amps also used for sub duty, great all around. Crest was owned by Peavey, maker of guitar/bass amps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious nuts and they sound better than any of the lower priced 'entry level' pro-amps I've tried in the past. I haven't tried any of the PLX amps....and I'd like to someday because of the praise they get...but the real sleepers are the Beheringer EP series amps for subwoofer duty. Cheap power and lots of it. They're basically a knock off of the PLX amps (can't remember which series off hand). Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Uuugghh.

mark1101 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Lots of good ones mentioned here. For me it is McIntosh..........Solid. I have old ones and newer ones. Of course they have clean power but the most important point for me is that they interface with both home audio and pro audio equipment seamlessly. They bridge that gap wonderfully. With systems that require pro digital processors and higher powered amps for big subs, but that also use home audio source components jumping to McIntosh was one of the smarter things I did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
