warwickhunt Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Ask yourself if you really think a Chinese, budget made hi-fi amp with phono connectors is A) going to put out 1000w RMS and B) sound as good as your Crown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Oooops just seen... it's 10w + 10w RMS... clever for a mono amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point. The Crown is good.....and Chinese made. I looked at Icepower and Hypex basic amps - pcb + psu , used to power Aguilar and high end equipment, Chinese made and similar specs TBH and I could build one in a case for ~£200.

dannybuoy Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Do you need 1000W? £266 for the 600W version is pretty reasonable compared to other offerings if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpw5150 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 @Happy Jack - That looks like a great amp at 3kg.... I am considering options now on the Baby Sumo or the Devine (at least with the devine I get to use my rack bag and can get a rack tuner!) I think the Crown, as much as it is bloody good, will be up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 That Devine will not have the sheer oomph of a Crown, and will turn out a lot less power overall. Given that I normally run amps at 9 o'clock, turning it up to 12 isn't a major problem. Obviously a lot depends on the cab you're planning to use. Something like a Barefaced would be ideal. An Ampeg 810 not so much ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I have the Sumo 1000, tiny and very good for what it is... not as good as a top end Crown, QSC or Matrix but really very good considering the size and what I paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid £50 for the Crown.....TBH, having a hard time parting with £200+ when the crown is fine aside the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rightly so, if your back can take it why not! I still lug a heavy AB class Mesa around to many gigs. Especially if it costs 50 quid.
