Crown has always had a particular taste for high negative feedback designs. The DF of the Studio Reference line is 20,000, suggesting that habit continues unabated. The usual result is less than ideal high frequency performance. I also question the thoroughness of a minimum 1.6 kilowatt amp that weighs only sixty pounds. My 200 watt Threshold amp weighs about the same.

To each his own.

Enjoy a long and safe weekend yourself. I'm going to work on completing my DIY tube traps and naturally, listen to some muc-sic as well.
