I used to own a Crown DC300 and IC150 with large advents and a Dual turntable. The Crown power was hard sounding. It was very powerful and but contrary to what a lot of people are saying it could image. In fact, it imaged like a champ. I don't have it anymore but the guy that bought it is still using it with the smaller Maggies. The Crown got me through a flood, many parties and never ever failed. Try that with some of the esoterics or a Pioneer. You'l hate it if you ever buy an etched or bright speaker.
Crown Amplifier for Advent 300
Have had one respondant to another thread suggest a Crown DC300 as a good power amp mate to go between an Advent 300 and Large Original Advent speakers. Am interested in general info on this amp, as well as the DC150 and DC75 models. I remember them vaguely as being quite handsome units and of good build quality. But I never listened to the amps critically - they were just out of my league - pricewise - back in those days. Any info at all on this equipment will be appreciated.
