I have noticed that some of the pro amps have higher noise ratios than the home audio amps, which may lead to noisy/staticy sounds through your speakers during quiet times. This would not be a concern in a DJ situation.
From all my looking, Qsc appears to be the near the top of the pile as far as home audio specs in DJ amp and cost/watt.

Outlaw is generally well respected, although it seems to have fallen by the wayside a bit on these forums.

I have a Behringer EP2500 that drives my m80 and I love the sound. The first time I cranked the juice up, I went to lower the bass of my sub but it was already off. Ten feet away from the speaker you could feel something on your skin when they were playing. With the stock fans it sounds like a normal PC. Maybe someday I will replace them but when we listen to music or movies it never bothered us. The only thing is that I also need amplification for my other 5 speakers, so I'm currently searching for a multichannel (5) amplifier. I paid around 350-400$ canadian. I did some test where my fronts were disconnected and I plugged a pair of QS8 on the amp. WOW, like getting new speakers. My wife told me in a matter of seconds that we needed an amp for the remaining speakers (4xQS8 + vp150) pics were posted over here: http://axiomaudio.com/boards/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showgallery&Number=258614

Just bite the bullet Luc and get the A1400-8 and all your amplification needs are taken care of. I really like to spend other people's money.

Now that's the kind of quality entertainment I expect from the Axiom Message Boards. Make sure to post the web links.

I wouldn't say they will play louder at 2 ohms as that only means the amps will achieve full power sooner on the volume dial due to the lower resistance. I would suspect the 2 speakers colocated similar to subs colocated would add 6db, yes/no?

Hey, when you get them, if you don't mind, can you try the UPA-2 with the M80s? I'm also curious about how hot it runs.
