Very well regarded, good looking Crimson monobloc amplifiers, excellent cosmetically given their age.

In my system they’re detailed, without being fatiguing, and powerful with a beautifully musical presentation throughout the dynamic range. Full service in 2015 – see photo of invoice below:

Not much information on the internet, though from what I’ve seen they appear to have a bit of a following. Here are a couple of links for some background:

I believe they’re rated 100w per channel, unable to add any other technical info.

Dimensions: 308 x 100 x H115mm

Weight: 4.4 kgs each

No manual or original boxes.

Price £285 collected NG16: 5 mins J27 M1.

Will courier at cost including insurance or buyer can arrange own courier if preferred.

Been running them off a Creek p43 pre with excellent results ***see separate listing for pre***

Damn!!! I lusted after a pair of these with their matching Pre, when I was putting together my 1st system in 87. Unfortunately the £1000 budget wouldn't stretch to them a tt & speakers so had to make do with a Rotal integrated.

Lovely pair of old amps - top performers in their day

I think there were some elite amps very similar at the time

Did these amps sell? If not, I'd be interested in finding out more.

You'll be lucky if he's still got them!
