Thanks Bobecca. I agree fully with your experience with one mc275.

I am not follow you regarding "room setup", If you mean connecting Audio Architect to XLS then there is no RJ45 cable that support this on XLS. Or, you mean something else? |

Yes, I was wondering if the program would connect to the XLS.

No it does not. There is no need for it if you are not as anal as I am

Lol... I may be anal too but I'm not as educated when it comes to the technical aspects.

Hallo! Sunshyne.
What's happening. Have you connected your Crown? |

Sorry for holding out. I wanted a few days of listening before commenting. My first concern was again, would the horns sound harsh moving to solid state? Not at all. The bottom cleaned up as well.
So far it has been all digital listening and I still need to break out the vinyl. I do eq on itunes to add more bass and run the preamps tone on bypass. With this amp, I can actually hear a sound quality difference in the tone bypass other than the change in bass and treble. I may get a pair of REL's first to compensate for lack of the low end with the speakers sooner than later. All in all I am happy with this amp and it will hold me over until I get an MC 452 but that will be down the road. And I must add they now get loud! I have not tested how loud yet, but certainly much louder than I need or want. The green light almost never moves up to the next bar and is far from clipping. I did end up setting the amp around 3 o clock like you suggested. I do like the highs of the mc275 because they have a little more body for lack of a better term, but was frustrated because I could not rock out. Stuff like Dylan and the Dead sounded really good with the 275 but they also sound great with the crown.

Yeah the meters are nice. It will be thousand$ more it will take up a lot more space so this will be it for a while. Plus it will give me the chance to sell the 275 or do a trade up at a local dealer. I have not contacted any other than AC (for a used one) but I'm afraid to find out what the damage will be.
