Combining the information from the speckle interferometric and spectroscopic binary βCrB a mass of 1.82 solar masses and an absolute visual magnitude Mv = 1m.42 is found, indicating that the star may be in that state of evolution, when the stellar core has shrinked after hydrogen exhaustion in it and the energy generation mainly comes from the envelope. The question whether all magnetic Ap stars are in that special evolutionary state is revived.
