The XLI 800 is a silent runner with no floor noise or fan noise to be heard. With music playing it delivers with force and clarity. The whole system sounds better, since the receiver now only needs to power the surround and back surround speakers.
It is very user friendly. Regular RCA plugs can be used from the receiver pre-outs to the inputs of the Crown. Binding posts offer easy speaker hook up.
As others have mentioned, these Crowns do have protective plastic plugs inserted in the binding posts. Apparently, European style power cords could, in error, be connected to them. Instead, Europeans are advised to use the side slots for speaker wire connections. If you live in the United States you can safely remove the protective plugs. I viewed an on line video, which suggests removing the protective plugs using a small threaded screw. I used a sheet rock screw, turning it by hand until the screw threads just engaged the plastic plugs. The amplifier (of course) should not be connected to a power source, should you follow this approach. In my case, they all pulled out really easy.
It has a sensitivity switch allowing it to be set at 1.4 volts or 0.775 volts. For most home systems the 0.775 volt setting will be just fine. You should check the rating of the pre outs on the receiver you plan to use.
The only thing that worried me was how to set the gain controls. Technical support at Crown told me to simply turn them up to where the sound seemed best, which I did. I started by placing them around the 2 o'clock position and finally wound up leaving the dials at the 3 o'clock position.
You do have to work with speaker placement and some receiver adjustments to get the best sound. I turned down the sensitivity of the receiver, as the sound seemed a bit bright. Each type of speaker is different, and you have to use your receiver adjustments, accordingly.
It does have a center light on the front, some might find over powering. To remedy the situation, a small square of electrical tape will cover it. The tape matches the black color of the case, perfectly.
.
If your speakers need some good solid watts per channel, to get them going, you can't go wrong with this Crown.
Finally, these Crowns are built to take it. The case is heavy gauge steel. The weight is a hefty 25.1 pounds for this model. Although not trendy looking, the styling is more about quality and something that does not go out of fashion. That is all good. After all, I hear these Crowns last a long time.
a used ( like new) option and saved quite a bit. I literally cannot find anything wrong with it! It came out the original packaging with all the swag...it has full warranty so I'm not going to sweat it one bit. It hit my door for under $225...once I hooked it up I realized it was worth every penny. Speakers just came to life big-time! Bass is kicking mids and highs are on point. It was absolutely the right choice for my situation. The sound quality was so much better, I was stunned. I read about fan noise concerns...I cannot hear the fan at all...even when I turn it down and try to hear it. I'm an airbrush artist and my system is right next to me, within reach, all day. I like to sit and paint and be able to put on an album or adjust the tone ect. without getting up. I hear no fans, I hear absolutely no hiss, it's never even gotten warm. Ive played it all day every day for a couple of weeks now. Absolutely no regrets or concerns. I play every type of music...Rock, metal, reggae, rap, new wave, classical, some county, anything really. I'm able to dial in a good sound in all styles be it at low volume, and get things absolutely bumping when the mood strikes. Plenty of power guys!! It all sounds awesome...you don't have to spend a million bucks to have a powerful, great sounding system...(but you can If you want to I suppose). Crown amplifiers have a new customer for life...give them a try!
