Craftel DGL-5000 HT Amp. from Audiocraft - Chennai

I am not sure about the exact price as I already have dedicated HT, but its less than 30K even with huge floor standers and sub. Kindly get the demo first and then go for the price, because individual test may differ sometimes. I am sure you will be happy to take the package home after demo.

Thanks a lot Sri Muthu, pl take some snaps of powered sub he has, so that forum will have a feel of such units without heatsink on the rear. In fact I have such an unit from Marc, but couldn't post any pic so far. Ur help in this regard will be highly useful for other members. Waiting to see those snaps uploaded soon here........

regards

My sincere aplogies to all the guys on this thread. I had visited Mark quite sometime ago and spent a whole day reviewing his systems. I was quote impressed with what he is doing, and I am 3/4th of the way in writing a detailed review.

I have CD full of snaps. Seeing the enthusiasm here, I am posting snaps of Mark's center speaker, sub, and large floor stander. I shall post some more snaps tonight. I will also complete the review before this week and post it.

Cheers

The Craftel Sub




The Craftel Center Speaker



The Craftel Large Floor Stander

Here are more photos of Craftel amps and speakers.

1. Audiocraft's flagship speaker that has two woofers, a mid range, and two tweeters. The squarish tweeter on the top right has been specially designed by Mark to handle frequencies of upto 45KHz.



2. The massive Audiocraft sub that has no heat sinks, but a side firing 12 inch driver.



3. The HT demo room with both the flagship and second floorstanding speakers, a 5.1 multi channel amp, and the massive sub on the left side.



4. The 'Blastodium'. I really don't understand how Mark has done this. But this is a sub cum amplifier for a car that pumps out a huge 600 watts!! Mark has done some witchcraft to produce so much power from a mere 12 volts!!



5. The Craftel 1500T is the first amp I have seen that has a USB slot in the face plate. You can play any music that you embed on a pen drive. This will be of immense value in PA systems where you can put some 500 songs on a stick and forget about it for one full day of piped music. Of course, this can be used at homes also for people who like MP3 music. .



6. A view of the multi channel amplifier and the stereo amplifier.



7. A view of the floor stander that has side firing woofers.



8. The Craftel Stereo integrated amp - STA 242.

Venkat,

Thanks a lot for the photos. Is it a centre channel speaker or floorstander that you mentioned in point no. 3. Just for clarification.

Venkatji,

Now these photos have troubled my mind. I will have to consider your suggestion to visit craftel in chennai.

I will get back when time permits(not long) until i wake up my frind in chennai.

Thanks for these photos and looking forward to visit Chennai.

Just two silly queries:

Do they ship to hyderabad(I mean india...any part)?

Can I get atleast 1 year warranty or maybe more?

My receiver being yamaha v663, can it power these monster of sized devils?

that would be the end.
