[snip amp details]

The IM and THD charts that come with the manual are blank
and marked "Disclosure prohibited 4.11.1974"

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?

You snipped the figures I gave.

No I didn't.

They are excellent.


z 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.


The Crown amp was popular everywhere,

No it wasn't. ;-)

it had the power to be loud
but not brash.

Not on the tests I heard.


Driving large Tannoys or Lockwoods it made a very
impressive monitor system.

Tannoys never were the most critical of speaker chassis. Merely loud.

A good vinyl cutting amp also.

No idea about that. But then some types of distortion isn't going to be
critical for that application anyway.
