Pro audio amp vs. residential amp

I would love to see the results of a "blind listening" shoot out between similarly powered high quality pro audio amps and extreme high end amps from somebody like Boulder or Constellation...somebody do this and report back to me.

Thanks to all. I just ordered the Crown XLS1500. I will report back with my findings.

Ddd1. Hanks for that great link. I have ordered the XLS1500 and should receive it next week. Looking forward to testing it out. If all else fails i'll sell it to the kid next door for his garage band. On second thought the suck and I don't want to hear them amplified. But reall thanks for the great info.

Well I have the XLS in play, and I am really quite please with the sound. I am listening to Steely Dan Aja right now, and it sounds as crisp and clear as the SimAudio amp that died. Who would have thought that a $300.00 amp would sound as good as a 2k amp. It just goes to show how much we are willing to pay for a shiny name plate and review. It is truly in the ears of the listener. Thanks to all who helped me in the great decision. I would recommend that anyone debating the purchase of an amp check out this alternative. If doesn't work for you, you have a 30 return without question and no restock fee. -Happy Listening.

Which store/site did you purchase it from?
Thanks for example of affordable and great setup!
