More amp stuff. I noticed the DC300A is listed as having 150 Watts per channel. I don't think it's going to have enough power for what I need. I'm looking for a minimum of 250W per channel, or between 500W-800W in mono.

Are the Crown CE series amps better than XLS series? What about the Samson F800? The only problem I see with this amp is there are no power ratings given for an 8 ohm load. It's rated at 400 X 2 into 4 ohms, or 800 X 1 into ohms. Are Carver amps any good? Don't know much about the Mackies, but I still say they look prety darn good. They've got some durn good specs.
