Still, I would think a lot of guys would want that kind of power for such a low price).
And that one myth has probably been the downfall of many systems. In the "golden days" (whenever that was 60'-70's )high powered amps were not readily available. Oh sure. professional studios and venues had them . But the typical PA' system only had 200wpc or less. I've sang over many of them. High wattage then was 60-80wpc. The key is that it was known that high watts doesn't necessarily have good sound. Today, I see people constantly talking about the "Need" for a high powered amp 300-400 wpc as though it automatically meant that it was going to sound better. FWIW, I have a 1200 wpc Crown in my PA. I've had 1200 wpc to 35 wpc (Which I have now) The 2 best sounding amps were 35wpc tube and a 45wpc Harmon Kardon. OK, I'll slide my soapbox under the table now and get out my flame retardant suit.
