    Crown MT2400 or Dynamic Precision PA1 on JBL 4435?

    Do any of you have any experinces with Crown MT2400 for use in a HiFi system? And even better, anyone tried it with JBL 4435?

    I've got a great deal on one and consedering replacing my Carver PXM900 with it, is this a good idea? My problem is that I can't try it before I buy it since it far away from here...

    Is the fan too loud for HiFi use?

    I've also got a fairly good price of an Dynamic Precsion PA1 amp, anyone know how this one work with 4435?

    I don’t know just how loud the fan is in the Crown MT2400.
    But, I once had a Crown PT-1 and the fan noise drove me nuts.
    So, I would stay away from any amplifier that has a fan in it for HIFI use.

    The crown 2400 will make great low end. Its midrange and highs will be OK, but not exactly hi-fi. The fan noise may bother you in a home listening enviroment.

    I once heard the 2400 drive Tannoy dual concentric studio monitors, and thought it was good, better than I thought it would be.

    The fan is on the louder side of things.

    Thanx, I'll stay away from the Crown amp even though it's very cheap I'll probably end up with the Dynamic Precision instead then, after all it's an amp that costed 4 times the Crown and hopefully it will sound even better also

    Have you considered the Crown K series?
    They have a lot of power, great sound and no cooling fan.

    I have replaced my PT-1 with a K1 and am very happy with the results.

    The reason for consedering the MT2400 was the price of $400. I know the K-series are great so maybe I'll end up with a K1 or K2, but since a K2 costs 4-5 times of the price I could get the MT2400 I'll have to wait a little while
