CR Developments (also known as CR Electronic Design) was a small British hi-fi company based in Southend, UK that specialized in high-end audio amplifiers for connoisseurs. The company focused on research, design, development, and first-class manufacturing of both valve/tube and solid-state amplifiers. Notable products included the Romulus valve integrated amplifier (£2,000 retail), Remus power amplifier, Carmenta and Kastor pre-amplifiers, and the CR324SE solid-state amplifier with professional audio heritage. CR Developments concentrated predominantly on Far East markets but may have experienced difficulties due to that region's economic challenges. Unfortunately, CR Developments is now sadly defunct, though their products can still be found on the used market and are well worth seeking out according to audio enthusiasts.
