Crown commercial amps for home use?

i posted a response but there musta been somthing in it that the moderators didnt want people to hear,who knows,i just tried a few pro amps one being a crown & the other being a qsc.

ill keep it short so this may get posted,you cant loose trying one of thease amps for your self,if you dont like it simply return it & get your money back.

one thing i will say is that the qsc is as good as alot of mid fi gear ive tried at 1 tenth the price.

mike.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the comments! Huck

Hi,
My outdoor system is
a yamaha 4/10 cabinet, with 4 scan speak poly 8's, and 4 LPG 1 inch titanium tweeters; per side.
I can't speak on Crown, but can tell you that a 1200 watt Mackie had me
somewhat impressed.
It had a flavor like McIntosh.
Indoors I have had Audio Magic, Pass Labs, Krell, McIntosh, Nakamichi.
If you *had to, it's something you can live with.

I also must comment on how good a qsc amp sounds. I bought one to drive subwoofers, but, out of curiosity, tried it full range. What a surprise! Come to think about it, why should a prosound amp sound inferior? The same circuits and electronics components are available for all to use in their products. I am sure that no designer or manufacturer goes out of his way to sound lousy.

One valid objection is cooling fan noise. This is no problem if the amp can be remotely located, for example in the cellar.

I have no experience with Crown amps, but I do note that they market one model, at much greater price, which is intended for studio use, and incorporates various high end features.

I am presently using prosound amps...Carver ZR1600. But these are digital, and that's another topic.

I had a Ce1000 myself, very noisey, I have not tried QSC so who knows it will come down to system synergy in the end, if you can save a lot of money and make it work go for it, but I still go against Fan type even if they are quiet enough, all kinds of build up will get stuck on it and ultimatly could fail and you would not no about it until it overheats, not saying it will but more moving parts in the signal and drawing power for devices that can contaminate your AC line without being involved in the music the worse it is in my opinion.
