It is a perplexing choice of amplifier IMHO ! Why? Why not check out one of those Behringer A500s ? I'm probably going to buy some A500s for church. |

It is a perplexing choice of amplifier IMHO ! Why? I have in the past rated that style of QSC design as being somewhat 'agricultural' ! I could elaborate at considerable length. You might not like it though. Why not check out one of those Behringer A500s ? I'm probably going to buy some A500s for church. Take one home and try it there as well then. Graham |

Trouble is, I know how that design does in straight wire bypass tests.

I have in the past rated that style of QSC design as being somewhat 'agricultural' ! I could elaborate at considerable length. You might not like it though. Trouble is, I know how that design does in straight wire bypass tests. And I know how 'badly' it measures ( for an SS amp ! ). Crossover in particular is truly horrid. Not to mention a bag of other issues I have with that style of QSC architecture.

I had a feeling you might say that. I'm unconvinced of the results of your tests. I've heard those QSCs and one reason I call them agricultural is 'cos they actually sound it. Read into that whatever you like about the ear's ability to discern non-linearities ! Graham |

Trouble is, I know how that design does in straight wire bypass tests. And I know how 'badly' it measures ( for an SS amp ! ). Crossover in particular is truly horrid. You obviously measured a different amp than I did. Not to mention a bag of other issues I have with that style of QSC architecture. I'm interested.

I had a feeling you might say that. Fact is, the amp passes tough blind listening tests. I'm unconvinced of the results of your tests.

Might as well just save some money and just buy the wire!~ -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
