The cryoman lives in Chicago, if Jack and Roscoe is interested, they can hear mine before it is shipped back.
Saying or implying the amp is somehow "digital" because of the modulator is like saying a Chevy truck is electric because it has a battery...Call it semantics if you wish....
Towards the end the specs began to sag and performance was intermittent. Finally it wouldn't turn on , so I traded for a newer and more up to date model! The sound is so much clearer with more of an emotional attachment.
More Irony and ignorance werd,Can a 14B do the same into 2 ohm .... The 2 ohm rating of many amplifiers applies to me and does so for many speakers , more than you would think, look at the imp/mag /phase of most speakers and you will see, I'm sure you can find someone to explain it to you . The real point is , the crown is no less stable at 2 ohm than a 14B which rolls over and hides on a 2 ohm load , as measured by stereophile, this is one of the very reasons i have stayed away from Bryston over the decades, so get off your high Horse and out of your glass house....
Not at all. A truck will run once its started. The digital modulation is at the heart of creating the eventual analog signal that outputs from the amp.

I'm really excited about the flood of amps Tom is getting, including the one I get to pop
You I mean YOU not me YOU posted a THD graph showing it does.
I have been given the green light to ship one amp to the cryoman. The two 1500's should be here tomorrow. I will send the other to you. I doubt if either amp is fully burned in, they were used only one time at one of their local concerts.Please pm me your address.
Oh yah, I wouldn't know since you haven't posted a system or revealed anything in gallery. What speakers you running?
It might make sense to split this thread into two separate threads one dealing specifically with the Crown digital amplifier series.Scotty
More than a few speakers have impedance curves and phase angles equivalent to a 2 ohm load or less..if you look at the graph posted you will see the 14B is heavy into current limiting below 4 ohms. Not an issue unless you plan on running it below 4ohm or have 4 ohm speakers ,similar to running the crown at reduced power output than advertised rating for lower distortion...
