Peavey GPS 3500 2 x 1750W Power Amp $880 and free UPS ground shipping

[Buckeyefan 1]

This is a monster of a pro amp if you're in need of a 56lb. giant to power your towers. $1399 is the average price online, and free shipping isn't too bad, either.

I'm guessing it will output at least 500x2, 20-20,000 at .05% thd based on the advertised specs.

Looks impressive
2 fans. Wonder how loud they are.
They forgot a 2 in front of that 5 in the warranty

I would rather get the Behringer EP2500 at a fraction of the cost and still have plenty extra power.

The Peavey is 56lbs, the Europower is 36lbs. BUT you could get two EP2500's for less than one Peavey.

FWIW, this is stupid power for home use. I guess if you build a passive, sealed quad JL Audio 15" sub, you'd benefit from something like this.

What amplifier class is the Peavey? The EP2500 is Class H (a more efficient version of Class A/B). That would allow the Behringer to weigh less while still performing very well. Either one of those amplifiers would deliver more power than I would likely ever need.

Er.... there is no "big wattage" 15inch JLs.

And the weight has nothing to do with it, The EP2500 is the best for the buck, buck

Those sheep are getting some wit.

No, but it would power some 15W3V3's quite nicely.... they can handle plenty of power.

But they're not ideal for IB. That was my whole beef...

[GlocksRock]

You are correct... not good for IB.

Who said anything about IB?

Seth's about to pass you on posts. What gives? Getting lazy?

I gave him a month and he still hasn't caught up. He has no hope in hell now.
