CTs 4200A Four-Channel Power Amplifier 180 watts per channel at 8 Ohms

These amp normally retail for 2500 and Amazon really came through with this purchase. All channels work great and have been running this for 14 hours a day since purchase and not a single hickup.

For restaurant music!! Absolutely perfect!!

Perfect for what I needed

Currently own both Cts 4200 (bridged 2 channel for Front R&L) Cts 8400 (2 channels bridged for Center, other 6 channels running 2 side surrounds, 2 running rear surrounds (r&L) and 2 channels for Dolby Atmos in 7.4.2 Home Theater. Sounds better than my older Harman 300wpc/8ohm oven heater& runs silent & Cool. The cooling Fan in the 4200 is super loud, but I replaced it with a 100mm Computer fan(silent Resistor)Fan with no noticeable issues- I am purchasing a Bob Carver Sunfire 2 channel amp to compare, but For the cost, these Amps are over-built and their tech specs are modest- 100db S/noise ratio-A- weighted! really drive my Electrostat Speakers without issue- Sound Musical-Plays music better than any sub-$1000. amp Iv'e heard- Only caveat- the low level inputs are a Crown only plug- no RCA or Bal connector- I had to cut Balanced Cables and hard wire the bare wire ends (24 gauge- very tiny) to hook up to my low level Bal Pre-amp Processor.

i'm currently using both the crown cts 8200 and the cts 4200 and i couldn't be happier, they are absolutely tremendous amplifiers with plenty of power and they will outlive you and your kids.... i especially like the cts 4200, a lot of watts in a relatively slim/sleek 2u chassis, it's rated at 200w per channel with all channels driven but imo it feels/sounds more like 300.... also, because these units are typically used in commercial applications (read: nightclubs, hotels, casinos, etc.), and commercial operations often go belly up or upgrade their ff%e relatively often, they are readily available on ebay for a song, often from liquidators, i just picked up a mint cts 4200 last week for $125 including s&h that was listed with a buy it now on ebay....
