I'd go with the Crest...especially from that series. I had 2 VS650's...great amps. Killer tone for bass. Would use again if the opportunity merited it.

Thanks..

(for PA Mains) Will be using it going Crossover=>>Poweramp=>> 4ohm lows + 4 ohm mids/high

My thought on the Carver is the higher power rating...

The Crest does look like a more stout amp.. I have both.. just looking for advice and experience.
