QSC is good. I've never had a PA amp go into protect mode on me.
Personally, I have 4 15" Optimus PA speakers, and 2 250w stereo/350w
mono-bridged Optimus PA amps(not really using them). They have never shut
off once. I keep the amps at 100% volume and keep the mixer gain at 0db for
loud, -6db for quiet listening(which would still be loud to most people).
The QSC amps would most certainly not shut off on you.

Hey, I'm looking for a stereo receiver to replace my 5-year old Sony
STR-DE525. I'm looking primarily in the $250-300 price range but something
a
bit higher or a bit lower in price is acceptable. I would prefer to buy
another Sony brand since my Playstation 2, CD changer, and portable
mini-disc player I presume would be more compatible with a Sony receiver
but
I'm looking at other brands as well. I only have two speakers and use my
stereo system primarily for music, so I'm looking for something with
excellent sound and can carry a nice-sounding bass at high volumes rather
than a reciever specifically geared for a home theatre setup, though I
would
like nice sound reproduction for my TV and Playstation 2 as well. The
thing
I hated about my Sony STR-DE515 is that playing a song with a strong bass
at
high levels always shut the receiver down and gave this 'Protector'
warning
so I'm looking for something that can take stronger bass and louder
volumes.
Would this be found in a higher wattage stereo receiver? Any
reccomendations
for a stereo receiver around this price range (or even a lower price
range)
would be much appreciated!!

Jose
