For some reason, Crown gear is scarce out here
My neighborhood hi-fi store when I was growing up in St. Louis sold McIntosh and Crown. I even have the report for my original Crown D150 when they tested it at the McIntosh Clinic along with my Mac C20. They kept the C20 overnight to pretty much completely rebuild it to get it to spec and this was back in the late '60s. I recall the first thing they did before running the test on any Mac product was to toss all the tubes and replace them with new ones!
The Crown was the cleanest amp they tested that day, and it beat its own specs including power output.
