"Great Amp for the Price"

I love this amp, and have no complaints. I might expand my system and pick up a second one of these to drive the monitors.
Sound
The sound produced by this amp is great. I get very crisp high ends and deep strong bass. I've used it for DJing and for a PA system with 2 mics and keyboards. Input always comes from a Yamaha mixer, and output goes to two Electro Voice cabs.
Features
The protection circuit is such a great feature. I've seen amps much more expensive (and powerful) that lacked this essential feature. The Speakon connectors are also great additions.
Ease of Use
Just plug it in and go. Choseing between parallel, stereo or mono is really easy.
Quality
I bought a B-stock amp and I only noticed minor scrapes on the top, nothing that wouldn't happen anyway. It works like a charm, very heavy, and well made. The handles on the front are great since I don't have a rack and I bring it with me from gig to gig.
Value
Great amp for the price. Perfect to drive a PA system in a small to medium venue.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had to call them with any problems however the manual is so well written. It's friendly, and simplifies things for anyone to understand.
The Wow Factor
It's got a clean simple front. The filters for the fan are easy to clean, and look pretty good too.

"Great amp."

I expect to use them til they die, and then buy more. Actually I need another 1800.
Sound
I have an SX1200 and an SX1800. They are very clean. I run them down to 2 ohms with no problem whatsoever. No overheating, no clipping, no tripping. We use a bunch of Bose 802's, not an issue.
Features
Turn on, crank to max. Done.
Ease of Use
Ditto.
Quality
Good stuff. Knobs could be better.
Value
Worth the money. Had trouble with Crowns.
Manufacturer Support
