I'm shopping for an amplifier and figure it can't hurt to ask here if anybody has an amp that the really love which fits the profile for what I'm doing. Here's the situation:
400 seat theatre, does comedies, musical reviews, mysteries, etc....
The rest of the system:
Mains are Meyer CQ-2's.
Delay ring is EAW JF60's powered by Crown K1's.
Subs are powered by an old Carver amp.
The amp I'm replacing:
A Carver amp (c.1987) that drives sound for the "Suite", a small balcony. Sound for the Suite comes from 1) a pair of EAW JF60's, and 2) a delay system of JBL Control-1 mini speakers.
So: I need a 2 channel amp and I need to drive less than 200w into 2 ohms.
I'm looking at a Crown XLS 202D. It can deliver more watts than I need, but that just means I'll be running it cool, the price is right, and I've always figured you can't go too far wrong with Crown amps.
OTOH, I'm a lighting guy first and a sound guy second (or third) so...
Any recommendations?
