Members zuul777 Posted February 9, 2005 Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 I just had to show some support for Nady. When i was younger the first power amp i bought was a nady, for the price of course. thousand watt amp for under $300? sweet!Anyhow, i still use Nady power amps now. I have three different ones of theirs all in a rack, and i push them hard often. Never failed me, always worked well. and i HAVE used crowns and crests before, and i havent been 'impressed', especially for the huge cost differences.anyway, anybody else feel the same way?

Members OMNIFEX Posted February 9, 2005 Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 Sorry Dude. I remember when I was buying my first cordless mic, and, ask the salesman about Nady. He laughed, and handed me a Shure Maybe your jobs aren't demanding enough, why you chose your Nady amp over Crest & Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zuul777 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2005 i was talking specifically about the power amps only...everything else i've played with or heard of theirs is total crap, i would have to agree. i just think their power amps stand out a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted February 9, 2005 CMS Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Huge cost differences? On average, a QSC RMX-series amp runs maybe $100-120 more than a Nady. I don't see any mention of high-pass filters on the Nady, nor whether the limiters can be turned off if desired. The QSC's got 30- and 50Hz HPF's. The QSC is warranted 5 or 6 years, the Nady: 3 years. Even the best products can fail, and QSC has excellent customer service. It would be pure speculation, but I'm willing to bet a QSC has much higher resale value than a Nady. There's more than just initial purchase price to consider. If the Nady's work for you, excellent. I wish you continued good fortune with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Nady either but it isn't that bad. I see a lot of musicians that we run sound for using them and by no means are they top of the line gear but they do what they're intended to do. Wether or not the sound quality and diversity are any good is another quaetion. If I was on a budget I'd go Nady, fortunately I know better;) Zuul is talking about amps and everyone is talking about wireless systems. We know they're crap and he does too if I remeber correctly.

So how do you gracefully bow out of completing a gig that you have comitted to when an amp fails? Do you get a chance to do the gig again? You see, I don't have much experience with amp failures, and most of my gigs are 1 strike and you are out type gigs. Doesn't give much flexibility for experimenting with amps going bad. What kind of face is appropriate to make when there's sudden silence? Are you supposed to act surprised, or is a matter of fact look more appropriate?

Are you supposed to act surprised, or is a matter of fact look more appropriate? You simply explain to the crowd that, "everything else I've played with or heard of theirs is total crap", yet I thought it a good idea to save $100 and buy a Nady amp. Who knew it too was total crap. Seriously - There is more to VALUE than purchase price. Sure the Nady may work for years, but it's an unnecessary gamble to "save" so little in the grand scheme of things. You're talking about saving the equivalent of ONE band members pay on ONE gig. If the amp ever fails at a critical time YOU are going to feel like an ass. If you get a more respected brand, sure it sucks if it goes out, but at least you don't have to second guess your rationale. If it were acquired for basement practices, and as a back up in an emergency, then that may be a good purchasing decision. "Low bid" is a dicey game when what you're buying is for a critical application. FOH duty for paid gigs meets that criteria. If you were a tightrope walker would you look for the cheapest rope, especially knowing that other products by the manufacturer were not up to snuff?
