Summary:
I purchased this amp to run my Maggie MMG's.

Previously,My speakers were powered by a 7 channel amp pushing out 165 watts @ 4 ohms.While they sounded good,I knew they could handle more power.I picked up the Crown 402(400 wpc @ 4ohms),and after connecting it and dialing everything in using my meter,I sat down for a good listen.

Power does tell.My Magnepan speakers now sing(pun intended).Highs and mids are crisp and clear.Bass has much more punch.In a word,satisfied.Give the Crown a try and you'll be surprised what a pro amp can do in a home theater environment.

Strengths:
Huge goobs of power.Runs very cool even after hours of use.

Weaknesses:
Fans are a little loud(not a problem if your amp is in a cabinet)
