current crop of affordable PA power amps

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

My Crown CE-1000 has been great both as a bass guitar/PA power amp.
Mono/Stereo is done with the flip of a switch and rotating the speaker
banna plug. Doesn't get much easier than that.

Sorry, 800 "regular guy" watts has no meaning when talking about audio amps
unless a load is specified along with it.

You need to ask: anyone know of a good PA amp with about 800 W /ch into 8
ohms for $400 or less?

My answer is no, not new. the QSC RMX 2450 has 750W /ch @ 4 ohms retail
$599 USD.

used power amps, as long as thay are not defective, will give you a good
return on investment.

I recently picked up 3 of QSC's PLX 2402's - 700 watts per channel into 4
Ohms, and 2400 watts into 4 Ohms bridged (the way that they were used over
the weekend). I anticipate buying at least 3 more in the near future.
