Sound: Plenty of headroom, easily drives my 2 JBL JRX 115 Mains and 4 JRX 112 Monitors. Feature: It does exactly what it says it does perfectly. My needs would have liked the ability to have 4 outputs instead of 2 so I could run separate lines to my monitors and mains but that's my situation, not a fault with the product. Ease of Use: Turn it on, set your level and get the party started. Quality: LIGHT! STURDY! SHARP APPEARANCE! Value: Friends shake their heads in amazement when they check it out. Manufacturer Support: I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt as I haven't need any. The Wow Factor: Professional Grade Equipment. Overall: I take care of my gear and expect this to last. I would replace it with another one if neccessary.

Overall: What can I say about the Crown 11lb XLS2500??? How about WOW!!! I've had this amp for over a year now, it's used consistently at least twice a week if not more at high levels for over 5 hours per night and it STILL performs flawlessly. I've worked this amp and pushed its limits numerous times and they out perform ANY amp I've ever used! I actually have 2 of these and one XLS1500 that run everything and let me tell you that I have NEVER been more impressed with teh sound quality, ease of use and the clarity that comes out of these amps. And the Volume??? OMG! we drive 4 18" black widow sub boxes with one 2500, 4 JBL double 15" and a horn towers with another 2500 and monitors with the 1500. This place CRANKS every single night and again, these amps are on pushing their limits for over 6 hours per night and at LEAST 2 nights per week for over a year now... UNBELIEVABLE and I HIGHLY reccomend them...

Sound: Purchased this for a new passive system. Clean power, lot's of it, and cool running. I pushed this to the limit (clip limiter on) no problems. Solid and clean all night. Feature: Excellent DSP functions at this price point. I'm currently utilizing the high pass filter set at 59Hz running a pair of Peavey PV115's and this set up has met my expectations for the types of gigs I deploy them at. All functions accessible from the front panel, no need to go to the back of the amp. Ease of Use: Read the manual to learn the DSP functions if you're going to use them. Easy to follow. If you need information beyond the scope of the manual, go directly to Crown Audio Forums, lots of good information and answers to your questions not covered in the manual. Quality: Well made, appears to built like a tank for an amp that weights under 11 lbs. Also Crown's quality and reputation speaks for itself. Value: Light weight, clean power, DSP functions, at around $600, a great value. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed it yet. The Wow Factor: Good looking piece of gear.

Sound: Amazing sound quality with this incredibly light amplifier. At first I was a bit skeptical but when I hooked up this bad boy to my arsenal of speaker goodness, I was blown away! Let me explain a bit. I really wanted to put this monster to the test and hooked it up in stereo configuration with 2 18" black widow sub boxes and 2 JBL double 15's JRX Towers. Well, needless to say, this puppy never went into the red, never distorted and even had to turn not only the bass down but overall volume as well in a room to code holds 500 people. Couldn't believe my ears and have never been more impressed with this incredible unit. Since my purchase, I have put this baby along with my other Crown XLS-1500 to vigorous and rigorous useage both inside and outdoors from major concerts (2500+ guests) to small club gigs (200-400 guests) weekly for about 2 months now. NO distortion, NO hum, EASY configuration and simply incredible sound quality. Get yours today, you'll never regret it! Feature: From front electronic configuration to all of the connectors on the back, it's the easiest use of an amplifier yet. Value: Unbelievable price too! The Wow Factor: Amazing look, L.E.D's are hot and its the most sleek looking amp today... Overall: I've used many many manufacturers of amps for the past 20 years and as always my two favs are QSC and Crown but I have to say, Crown has won this one and actually has been owning my number one spot for quite a few years now.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
