I use this amp to power an 2 EV subs and 2 EV original Force speakers. Since the subs have crossovers I run a speaker cable from the power amp to the sub, then a speaker cable from the sub to the main speaker ontop of the sub. I have played a 60' x 115' room with 300 people using this amp for the mains. I do put my bass thru the mains also, but get most of my bass volume from my on-stage bass amp running 700 watts.

I love the sweepable crossovers, I would like to keep this amp for my main speakers and buy the p5000s to power my subs.

Everything is first class, with it's features, the crossovers let you use the amp for subs or mains or monitors. The finish seems durable.

I got a great deal on mine.

Not having to call them speaks toward the quality of the amp.

I got it. Always do your home work before you buy speakers. Are they short throw speakers? Medium throw speakers? Many people think power will solve all their problems, when what they really need are some good horns in their main speakers that will throw out into the crowd. Take care of your equipment.

I am using this machine off of my Yamaha EMX5000-20 1000 Watt amp. The mains are powered from the board and the monitors (150W passive Yorkvilles) are driven by the P2500S. This machine at 8ohms delivers 250 Watts X's 2. Clarity is awesome. Tons of power, especially for monitors. We can actually hear ourselves!

I would give the unit a 10 if it had a front panel mute, which would be helpful at power down to avoid those dangerous pops and snaps. Extra attention to your powering down sequence will help to eliminate this.

Solid, clean looks with exceptional sound reproduction. The unit EEE technology keeps this unit very cool, even after leaving it on all day and pumping 5 hours of band through it in the evening!

@ $614.00 Canadian. Can't beat it! Simple.

Never had to return a Yamaha product - ever. That goes for my home stereo unit as well! Can't tell you how good service is.

Not only is this a practical addition to the band's set up, it looks awesome. Has front panel handles that I believe also helps to dissipate heat generation. More expensive units do not have this must have feature. Besides, these things are not that light to comfortably carry without a handle.

I run sound at the church I go to. We just installed two of these in our new sound system and they sound fantastic. I may eventually get one to drive a couple subwoofers in my home stereo system.
