Pro amps

There seems to be a lot of discussion on some other forums regarding pro amplifiers. Seems that most people that took the risk and bought one have no regrets and will never look back at "home theater" amps again. Most of them say that they wish they had discovered pro amps earlier as it would have saved a lot of headaches experimenting with HT amps. The general consensus is that upon first hearing one installed in their system they are completely floored and cannot believe the quality of sound from these amps. Crown amps are one example. They cite extreme amounts of current yet some of the amps weigh all of 26 lbs. How can that be? Anybody have any thoughts on this?

I agree with Panny. Pro-amps are designed for a different purpose. The only exception may be for subwoofer use. However, awesome pro amps are also a lot of money! I just sold a bunch of QSC amps without ever debating on keeping them for my theater. If you're wondering, I sold 2 qsc 9.0's, as well as a bunch of 4.0 and 3.4's. Go look up the wattage and you will be shocked. Power isn't everything though.
If you don't believe me, then contact me and tell me what kinds of amps you are looking for. I have a bunch more Crown, Crest & Qsc amps for 1/4 to 1/3 of original retail. I would much rather have my 400 watt Velodyne than a 1000 watt crest with a commercial JBL sub.
