Crown amps

Hi, I'm new to this board and am blown away by this thread. Every other board I go to seems to think Pro Amps are mid fi. Is anyone using a Crown XTI-2000 amp in a home stereo? My Phase Linear finally died and I need a new amp. I remember the Crown DC300a was a great sounding amp. I will be driving it with a Crown IC 150 pre-amp in mint condition.

Sampson Servo Pro amps are well regarded by some audiophiles if you insist on the pro route.
The Servo 120 for $189 had the best sound I think but they have a 275wpc for $299.
Is Crown better or are you just paying more for the Crown aura and mystique? Hmmmmmmm.
Personally I would go for the Harman Kardon stuff myself.
