Power Amplifier help

fod-zilla

I have recently had 2 power amps stolen. A crest CA6 and a crest CA9. I'm looking for suggestions on how to power our cabs now.

For tops: (full range) Dynacord A152s

Bins: 2 KME bs 1181w (fidelity)

Any ideas on what I should use? Anything I've looked at is either to weak or way too powerful. Behringer are cheap I know, would rather get something worthwhile and that could be easily sold if the system needed to go. Thanks.

Powersoft M50Q
It's 1250 watts per channel, 4 channels, all in 1U space

Wow, a beast! Would do perfectly... €2300 new on Thomann. I think I'll stick with two t-amps until I can get the bills for the powersoft. Thanks!

Don't mind bloody Thomann!!
Buy local or at least in Ireland, or anywhere except Thomann. They're NOT always the cheapest, they only have the cheapest own-brand crap!

I see Fohhn Ireland in Galway are also the Powersoft dealers here. Any experience with them before? They don't have any prices up on their web page. I wouldn't dream of buying gear like this new, Fohhn bins and amps come up all over the place on adverts! I'd rather buy good second hand gear than new behringer/t-amp stuff. It's just for temporary measures seeing as our Crest amps were knicked!

godfrey

Yes, they're mates of mine.

That's great!! Wow... what system would you recommend if I was upgrading?! Say 2 bins and 2 tops (along with Powersoft m/k series!)? Any idea of a ball park figure on what it would cost? There were Fohhn bins on adverts a while back for around 1200 I think but only realised how good they were after they went, sickened. Thanks

godfrey

Give those guys a call, it's not my 'thing' really.
Given that you're on a budget, ask them about the new Fane ranges which they're also the Irish distributors for, including active speakers.

Thanks very much mate, you've been very helpful!

I just copped that you were the one who bought those Fohhn bins. Let me know if you're ever selling!
