WOW, that is some statement. But, does not sound right. Crown`s ownership in the past was pretty solid for a while. Then, things started to fizzle a little. Then they came back a few years ago a new power amp, which both the Absolute Sound and Stereophile rated very well, then disappeared again.
I hope the company can be revived. And the topologies for both amps I would think are totally different for people to think Mark Levinson amps are glorified Crowns. I thought Mr. Levinson was still in control of what goes on? I know he is in to that Burwen Bobcat with computers and bookshelf speaker thing, but................
