Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that the Crowns really didn't sound that good. Very rugged and easily repaired, but sonics were sub par compared to Ampex, Studer, etc.
That was my impression also, onhwy61. The Crown’s had great transports, but their electronics had a bit of a hard, transistor glare. Poor parts, or mediocre design? I don't know, but Revox's just sound better.
