This may be true of these models but is not true of PA amplifiers in
general. It is one thing, and may even be true, to argue that, "This
QSC model unlike most PA amplifiers is a Class AB design, convection
cooled, and in my opinion merits consideration for serious domestic
listening and/or studio playback use in the most demanding
application." It's quite different to argue , "PA amps are
cost-effective and suitable for serious domestic listening at better
price performance points than High End products." This latter claim is
what you've been making, as I've heard it at least


Because it is a fact.

Have you ever been to the QSC website?
I have several times and none of their amps are described as PA amps.
They no longer seem to produce any amps that are not fan cooled, but
they all produce
solid, undistorted, heavy duty power that is perfectly suitable for
driving any speaker any audiophile might wish to connect to them.

A power amp is supposed to be able to drive a signal into a speaker
without audible distortion and do so over a variety of load
condidtions. Since speakers don't behave as pure resistors, the amps
that drive them can't treat speakers in such a manner. This is one of
the reasons QSC amps perform as well as or better than many audiophile
approved amps.
