I bought this amp on the play as you pay plan. I'm glad I did. I'm a 39 yr entertainer. I've dealt a lot with peavey amps. Not because of sound. But they are so reliable. I've also owned some behringer. They are good amps. But they overstate the specs. This amp is the best I've owned. It has power to spare. Looks good on my rack. And it sounds better than any amp I've heard. Until now I thought amps were just a power source. Now I realize that it has a profound effect on the way my music sounds. Bass is punchier, mids are clean and highs are crisp. You can buy cheaper amp. But for under $700. This amp can't be beat......BUY IT You'll love it. I havent needed tech support yet. Its ease of use is why. I don't need dps. I prefer my own separate xover and eq.

"Solid Amp"

I bought this amp on a whim because I've mostly heard that Crown had a good reputation as a name-brand, for amplifiers especially. I'm a mobile DJ and had a "so-called" 4000 watt Behringer amp to blow a capacitor that I used for my tops in bridge mode. Long story short, I have not taken this amp on the road due to the current pandemic restrictions, but I have been cranking-up the power nearly 5 times a week for about 6 months now. This amp sounds crisp and clean compared to the Behringer amp that was rated to have more watts. The Behringer amp did last 7 years with moderate usage. So if this amp lives up to its reputation, I should be enjoying the power for years to come.

Purchased this amp to replace my old CS1000. CS just did not have enough to properly drive my DJS4's, but boy does this amp. I never need to go above 1/4 gain to drive the mains well. Will be picking up 2 more of these in the near future when I expand the system.

"Crown amps"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
We have 2 crown amps, 1 is a cs2000 and the other is a cs1000, we have had for almost 22 years. We had another cheaper brand of amp (Behinger)that we've had for only a few years and it's already going out. Bought the XLI3500 to replace the cheaper amp. If the XLI3500 is as good as the cs2000 and the cs1000, will never have to buy another amp for a long, long time. We highly recommend the crown amps
Value
Yes this brand is well worth the money, for the years we've had the crown compared to the others we've had, wouldn't buy anything else but Crown.

We used this amplifier for our Easter concert outside in front of our church Packsaddle Fellowship. We were driving my Cerwin-Vega PB-18B Boxes. There were 15 singers, 3 keyboards, my 100 Watt Marshall half stack and another guitarist through a Fender amp and Bass and drums. The sound was crystal clear and beautifully loud enough to be well projected to the entire area. We had the XLI at just about 50% OF MAX. We had many people there and the comments on the mix and the sound were all extremely positive, even from very well trained ears. THANK YOU, ZZOUNDS FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE! Thanks be to God for this blessing.

Now that i have used this amp for 3 months i can tell people a little bit about it.First,i own several amps so that should give my opinion a little credibility.This crown brings out the details so each instrument can articulate it's exact sound right down to the minute details it really is that good across the 20hz-20khz spectrum.As far as power it is rated at khz rather than hz so don't be deceived thinking it has more power than it does.I have a amp that is rated at 1100 watts hz per channel at 4 ohms and it has a little more power than this crown rated at 1350 khz per channel at 4 ohms.That being said this amp has enough power to drive most speakers except big subs and a person would be hard pressed to find a amp that sounds this good in it's price point excellent job harman engineers.Also i want to give a big shout out to zz their play as you pay option is awsome takes away alot of stress when buying new gear,so thanks zz.
Sound
This crown amp brings out details in instruments that other amps in it's price range or in some cases twice it's price range could not touch.Great amp would recommend to anyone that does not need dsp.
Features
It has a input sensitivity switch that is real helpful if your running it through a receiver.
Ease of Use
Plug and play
Quality
Construction seems solid after all it weighs 43lbs.
Value
Hard to beat.

Hope i do not need any.
