Crown all the way

by DJ Double-Shot from Mexico, Missouri USA
May 17, 2010
Music Background: KJ/DJ
I have the older version of this amp. When I was running a gig one night, I had a visiting DJ who swore I was running at least 600 watts of power. She almost fainted when I told her it was a "mere" ... read more [+]250. For a few years this amp was relegated to powering just a pair of stage monitors, behind a CE4000 (not a bad place to be). Oh how I love headroom! This amp is now running the mains once again in a second system. It sounds just as good now as it ever did. I just wish Crown made a condensed 1 RU version of this or the XTI so I could use them to run monitors. Space and weight becomes a huge concern after a while. close [-]

Its a Crown

Music Background: Professional sound technician/ musician/ manager for over 30 years
Was a little skeptical at first about a Crown amp being so cheap, thought I might be getting some generic amp with no guts and a Crown badge..........man was I wrong. I have been using Crown products ... read more [+]for many years so I know Crown quality very well. This amp is pure Crown, clean, quiet, and smooth as glass with all the guts you will need. It improved the sound quality here in my home studio/ rehearsal space immensely. My sales rep..Matt Masek..was incredible, he bent over backwards to make sure I was completeley happy. Rock on Sweetwater......... close [-]

Awesome Amp

This amp is the best I have ever owned. I use it to power two Yamaha BR12-M's and the speakers and amp blew me away. I would recommend this amp to anyone who wants a solid amp at a rock bottom price.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
