	the gb series were one of the cheapest amps at the time and widely advertised in the mobile DJ magazines. I think they were aimed at a particular end of the market.

	Indeed,the GB series: GB202-402-602 are bipolar amplifiers,the pcb can be found in the newer 2U versions of Crown XLS 202-402-602,the rest of C Audio mentioned by me use early Hitachi lateral mosfet design. Edited by EmPro - 25 July 2024 at 9:37am
