Yes 'bland' is pretty much how I would sum up the sound of the standard Croft integrated. It did nothing for me at all and I really wanted to love it.... it had a rather boring sound to my ears anyway and, to me, had no dynamics... however it does nothing badly I guess and does give a nice sweet sound with no harshness... if that's what you are after.. It didn't last very long with me...

If you want to try one they come up quite frequently on the bay between £500-£750 ish.. so they are easy to try out and re-sell if you don't get on with it..

One man's bland is another man's smooth. Anyway, thanks for your feedback.
