Sound: This product sounds very good! For the price it's hard to beat. The Highs, Mids, and Bass are simply the best coming this unit. Feature: The built in crossover network. Ease of Use: I use a BBE Sound Processor along with a 16 Channel Equilizer and the Crown Amp (1500) works well with out any headaches. Trust me when I tell you, You don't need the processors for this amp it's sounds fine without them. The Business I am in which is DJing the acoustics will be different depending on your venue. Quality: The Crown Amp is made well, it's lighter and performs well. The unit hit's like a tank but not feeling like one the unit only weighs 11lbs. , You will feel this amp it will move the crowd!!!! Value: This Product is worth the money. By this Amp you will not be sorry you did. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had any issues. Overall: I will be purchasing another one of these in the next couple of weeks.

Sound: Feature: Built in easy to use DSP (which I love). Adjustable active crossover, limiters, & power conditioner all built in a 2U unit saving rack space, extra wiring, complications, and headaches. Also, this unit comes with about every input/output option you could need so it can easily integrate in just about any sound system. I was going to rate this a solid 9 but after writing out all these features… at this price point… I am upping it to 10! Ease of Use: Plug & Play DSP is the way to go my friends and I’ll never own another amp without it. Quality: Very well made and looks great! Value: For the money you get a Crown solid performer with some DSP features, built in crossover, limiters, and power conditioning all in one sleek 2U rack space. Value; rack space real estate is a valuable commodity and this unit can save you 3 additional spaces as well as the cost of wiring all those units together. Manufacturer Support: I called Crown before buying the amp to assure I was buying the correct model for my setup and had a real life (English Speaking) tech on the line within 5 mins. The Wow Factor: She is a sexy amp! Overall: I plan to have this unit a very long time and will probably add the XLS 2500 to my next system upgrade.

Sound: I gave it a 10 rating for the best "bang for the buck". Sure there are high-end amps but of course you pay a premium for them. This particular Crown amp gives us a clean sound on stage with a tight low end. I'm also a Mackie fan (powered mixer) but the Crown amp sounds cleaner and tighter even with a "economy" priced mixer running through it. Have not tried it in a studio or ran any spectrum analysis on it but in live situations it's awesome. Feature: Like the flexibility of pre-programmed patches via the on board screen. Ease of Use: Menu is easy but you will need to read the manual so you have a precise definition of each of the pre-programmed patches. Take 5 minutes and you'll have it memorized. Quality: Mostly solid construction (chassis)- even for amps higher than this price range. But we always rack our gear for protection anyway. If you don't rack it, I would be careful of the plastic decorative face. Pay the extra bucks and get a rack for it to keep it looking nice and new. Value: Money well spent! Manufacturer Support: Have not had to use support The Wow Factor: The silver chassis with the blue screen looks very classy. Overall: This amp will be with us until we retire. The only thing we would do in addition to this amp is add more into a multi-amp rack for shows (most likely all Crowns). It's simply a great product at a great price (bear in mind we havn't run it through the hoops in a silent studio environment yet).

Overall: I expected more from Crown. As a 1500 watt amp I expected more from it than what my Carvin 100 pushes. The truth is my Carvin has over twice the dampening rate ^500 VS the Crowns ^200. Pushing bass for my 6 string is better handled with my old Carvin, even though it's 500 less watts. Pushing a PA driver is the same deal. The Carvin has less rated power, but pushes deeper clean bass than the Crown. The crown 1500 does have internal X overs that are nice & also the option to connect via RCA for DJ & home theater. But I have to say I am VERY VERY unsatisfied with the output jacks. Speakon & bananna only. No 1/4" output jacks & the worst part is the Bananna jacks are the worst I have ever used. The bananna jacks press in from the top & have no clearance from the chassie. The (male) jack wont even clear in one side. I have to re-wire the bananna(male) so the strain relief hoop is facing away from the amp. That means the + and - are reversed now. I expected more from the worlds top amplifier manufacturer. Made in China & poor design is my opinion.
