Crown and Crest are great sub amps. Lousy for home audio. Ever heard sound at a club be more transparent/clear than a good 2 channel set-up? Crown and crest are crude beasts, not refined machines. Unless you just want to crank metal, you will not be happy. Also, what would a 1000 watt crest do to your ears/speakers at full volume?
Additional amplification?
I am considering adding a seperate 2 channel amp to my current multichannel setup, which is: Outlaw 950 pre/pro, Marantz DV 8300 universal player, Rotel RCD 1070 cd player, Rotel RMB 1075 (125wpc X 5) amplifier and Monitor Audio Silver S10s (fronts), Silver center and Silver S2 surrounds. I listen to music about 85% of the time including DVD-A/SACD. Will a seperate 2 channel amp make a difference? I like a crisp, somewhat bright sound in my music. Considering Rotel RB 1080 (205wpc), Parasound 1500a (200wpc. Suggestions and opinions would be greatly appreciated.
