You seen it before..... Technics SE-A3 MK2 and Technics SU-A4 MK2
Yes quite the cannon here by comparison to most one sees. Thats 17, count em, 17 outputs per channel. Ive seen this amp drive a dead short for a period of time and just red line, then hook back up to the speaker and pick up where it left off. Granted I wouldnt advise this. But to say these old Crest amps are iron clad is an understatement.
Yea its pro audio. To those naive enough to think they have no place in serious or home audio I say great. Glad theres still deals to be had.
Not much info on this sucker on the net. In googleing the model for fun I found a sales ad listing this amp and some Tannoy studio monitors. Seller said it came from a mastering engineers rig.
My old best friend came home to visit for Xmas a few states away. Was kind enough to bring it back for me since he drove. Best $250 (including gas money to the seller off craigs for dropping it off to him) I spent for such a beast.
Will need to be re-capped yet but it still works fine now.
Thought some would get a kick out of seeing this.
