what isounds best ,crown reference or bryston ssb

crown isn't in the same league as the others

i have heard crowns for many years in post production audio facilities and did get to drag one home. at the time they were getting some accolades from consumer audio mags. at the time i had several amps(bryston 3b, mac7300n and a nobis cantible). it was more powerful than all the above, but used on duntechs, and castle winchesters, it was hard sounding. at low volume it had no detail. in the studio its fine...at home however, its not very refined
