Members twostone Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Any particular model your interested in? They make from weekend warrior to pro touring amps and I love mine I've had it for 2 years problem free. Most folks here prefer QSC but when I seen Black Sabbath reunion tour all their amp racks were nothing but Crowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twostone Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Little FYI about Crown which is part of the Harman company that supports countless pro touring acts globally. Also few other Harman products. Lexicon, Soundcraft, DBX, JBL are just a few slices of the pie of this company, Mainly their a multimedia company that's world renowned. And most of the products are great quality products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJR And let's not forget the K-series (now discontinued???) which went the opposite direction....light weight, sipped rather than gulped current, and with sealed cabinets with no fans, were dead silent. Just don't get a repair estimate should anything go wrong in there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Square Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Crown has traditionally been a first tier amp company, and been very well respected. Their new products (the I-tech and xti series) both seem to have had issues with their on board processors causing problems. I am sure this will be worked out (if it hasn't been already), but it has caused a bruise to their reputation. QSC also makes a good product but they have also had product difficulties in their past (the PFC series of power lights, 6.0 and 9.0). I have used the MacroTech 5000 and it is a good amp. It does weigh quite a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted February 23, 2007 Members Share Posted February 23, 2007 Harmon a multi-media company??? They are primarily a company with markets in pro audio, home audio and car audio (much of this is OEM). Pro Audio is the smallest of their markets.
