Feature:
It comes ready to use. You will need to invest in the Speakon cables, which you will definitely want. Buy top-shelf cables!
Quality:
Product seems to be very well designed and built. I believe it will be dependable.
Value:
Absolutely worth every penny.
Desirability:
Not flashy at all. Businesslike. Very desireable.
Sound:
I am using the XLS802 under an Alembic F2B preamp, and it is excellent. Bridged mono at 4ohms, the amp is silent running (very soft fan whirr only), and the power is amazing. The preamp is excellent, and the headroom the bridged amp gives me is beyond any requirements that the Acme Low B cabinet (4x10-high power requirements of 1000 watts or more to avoid clipping) demands at full song. Excellent power amp. Deserves to be a Crown.
Ease of Use:
I run it bridged mono. Attenuators fully open. The preamp controls presence and tone completely, while the Crown is invisible (noisewise) in the signal chain. Just like you want it to be. But believe me, you can't forget that you are using the equivalent of a tactical nuke to power your rig!
Support:
Haven't had any problems to deal with so far.
Overall:
I see no reason to ever replace it. For my performance needs, it is complete and utter overkill, headroom wise. Permanent addition to my rack.
