Just surfed www.overstock.com and found the following:

Crown CE4000 power amp $1013.00
Crown CE1000A3 power amp $417.00
Alesis RA 500 power amp $298.00
Alesis RA300 $224.00

Is anyone familiar with these amps?

I know Crown used to be highly regarded, are they still well thought of?
Alesis is a company I know I've heard of and thought they went out of
business, can't remember much about what sort of quality.

Sorry, the Dead already has a sound system. Maybe the church down the
street needs a new PA.

Seriously, aren't you one of the amps is amps people? Why spend a
grand on an amp then?

To get enough power.

You have to have 600 wpc? For what?

To avoid even the remote chance of clipping.

Do you have unstable loads to
drive?

No.

Or are you looking to put 1200 watts into a subwoofer?

Not the current one but maybe the next one built around an Adire Tumult or 2
but that may change. www.adireaudio.com has the details on the drivers.

The Tumult is rated for 1600 watts.




BTW, are you sure that Arnold would approve? It's only 34 lbs after
all. Must be a lot of "air" in that chassis.
