Amp Recommendations: 2 Ohm Stable, ~300+ watts, and small...

snapsc, you might be quit right and I certainly can't say as I have not listened to both amps together but unless you have you are making an assumption. I think you meant that they might not sound as good.
Having said that I looked at Cherry's site and it is interesting stuff. They do have a 30 day return policy so if you are in for new amps it can't hurt.
QSC does not. You buy em you own em. However, Commercial amps have a much lower pricing structure than "audiophile" amps and you generally get more for your money. Benchmark is a good example. I use big QSC amps to drive subwoofers and I have not yet found reasonably priced amps that do a better job. On the other hand I have never used them for full range work. I thought of them only because they have the power and are very small.

I am not sure how they will handle 2 ohms bridged but the Benchmark AHB2 is a tiny amp. You would need to get two of them and bridge them mono to get 300 watts. The QSC PLX1802 is a 300 watt/ch into 8 ohm tiny AB amp with a switching power supply. It will do 700 watts/ch into 2 ohms. It is a commercial amp and has a fan for extended high power use. For home use just  go in and unplug the fan. QSC makes much more powerful versions if you have money to burn. I am sure there have to be some small class D amps that will do the job.
