The Dude Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Any particular model? Not that I have any at this time, but it may help narrow it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssh Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 No. Inexpensive, but not cheap, lol. My Marantz 8077 folded and the seller suggested commercial amps since my surround setup is all commercial Klipsch. SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmlowz Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 They will sound better with the crown amps for sure but if you are setting close to the amps there is a possibility of fan noise. Rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Unless you run a K1' or K2' there are few other fanless Crown models . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnote Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I have a Crown CTS 8200 which I bought used in January and have decided to go in a different direction so its available if you are interested. Kinda cool because you can bridge each individual pair of channels if you wish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC39693 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 @ssh, there are 2 used K2 on Canada Audio Mart in Toronto. No affiliation, buyer beware etc. I think there were some other Crown amps recently too if you can get them across the boarder? Good luck.

Yeah Canada's postal is so screwed up it is unreal and expensive too. I have more trouble sending things to Canada then any other country that I have allowed to buy. Canadian customers have come real close twice to being cut off because their postal is so incompetent, destructive, slow and expensive.

MC39693 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 @Dave A, sorry to hear that... I haven’t used Canada post lately but they were good to me including I think when I bought from you! Can be dicey going across the boarder at best of time. There are some forum members in TO area too... pony express? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiva Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I would recommend a slightly different approach to this. 1 Beefy 5 channel amp, putting out 200 watts a channel. Be quite hard to overdrive this too. Silent, reliable and only requiring one power outlet. Diminishes possible ground loop issues with extra gear plugged in. The Rotel RMB 1095. Look for one of these or equivalent. Even the Rotel 1075 would work well. Or possibly their newer Class D multi channel amps. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185176158649?hash=item2b1d5bf1b9:g:iycAAOSwYthhmZVM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
