I got my blender today. Just made an awesome smoothie. The analog speed control makes all the difference! \:D

Thought I'd pass this info along. Behringer has a new 2 channel amp coming out called the EPQ450 . They don't have the full specs up yet, although they state 230Wx2 @ 4 ohms and 130Wx2 @ 8 ohms. It's a possible alternative to some of the other amps(Emo, Outlaw ect) and I've seen pre-order pricing of $199 USD online.

I've owned two Anthem amps (MCA20 and PVA7) in the past and they worked very well.

I bought them used and then sold them 2 years later at a profit. Might be something to check out. I used the CAM site for both, but I've seen them on Kijiji and Craiglist as well.

Hi Eric,

What Donlboy says is essentially true. If you bench-test pro gear vs. audiophile stereo amps, you will generally find higher levels of distortion, noisier circuitry, and noisy fans.

Now, whether or not the higher levels of distortion would be audible with music, that's highly debatable. I would think distortion would remain inaudible unless THD rises above 1% or more, but I've never done double-blind comparisons of "pro" amps vs. home stereo gear.

Ruggedness, durability and bullet-proof performance are everything in a pro amp.

Regards,
Alan
