Is Cinepro any good?

In short yes. A friend of mine purchased a 3K6SEIII to use in his home system with a Proceed front end, and Revel Ultima Speakers. The amp sounded good, for the channels that worked (one channel had bad output devices) with a good bottom end, and a smooth midrange and top end. That said, the amp didn't quite cut it and he ended up returning it to Cinepro (they found the bad channel on replacement and returned the money with no hassle). He ended up purchasing Levinson/Proceed amps in their place. A couple of things worth noting 1) the speaker terminals are all grouped on one side of the amp, making it very difficult to hook up spades, and 2) Cinepro does have a 30 day return policy and often has demo amps for sale at a discount, so you can try it and return it if you don't like it (less the return shipping). For my money I would purchase a Sunfire, or used Proceed or Bryston before I would buy the Cinepro.

They are no longer in business. The owner died sometime last year, and my understanding is that his widow liquidated the business.

The Amplifiers, and power products are built extremely well, and are still very much available with full support and service. Something this great will not be allowed to die.

Are there still any Cinepro owners out there?
I wonder how to best use of this amp. I have a 3k6II and my speakers "pop" loudly every time it powers on. Is there a way to eliminate this problem? I think leaving the amp on at-all-time could waste lots of electricity for nothing. Also, there is a humming noise from speakers when the amp is on and idle. Are you comfortable with the humming noise while you don't play any source? Or is it perfectly quiet when you leave this amp powered on?

Thanks for any feedback.

ME, The older Cinepro's were known for the POP and slight noise. That was before STAR grounding, and was the reason the grounding was done in the first place.. If you are interested, we can upgrade the boards for you.. just give us a call.
