I’ve owned the Cronus, not the Magnum, and now have a Raven Blackhawk LE. For me, there was no comparison. The Cronus was a perfectly acceptable amp but has nowhere near the refinement and presence of the Raven. Whether or not the difference in power is important would depend on the sensitivity of your speakers, the kind of music you play and your listening space but I'm sure I would take the quality of the Raven over the Cronus in any typical audio setup.
Raven Nighthawk Mk 3.1 vs Cronus Magnum III
Both American made, same price point where the former is rated at 20 wpc the latter 100.
Which would you choose and why? Or might you look elsewhere, say the Parasound Hint 6?
Thanks for the thoughts.
