The IM and THD charts that come with the manual are blank

I must confess I burst out laughing when I read that! Did they think the
detailed distortion performance of their amp was a 'trade secret' and
that no-one should be allowed either to know the spec or measure it for
themselves?!


Possibly because the results were so bad? The Crown amp was loved by the
pop boys because it was loud and brash. But when used at normal levels for
GP stuff, bettered by many others.
