FTR, I had a thread started for MY power amp woes, and it was between the Crown Xti and the new QSC PLX2. I went with the PLX2 1804, but the Crown XTi 2000 was surely in the running. I just don't have a need for all those features on a power amp. Any colouration will be done with my pre, so I desired a power amp that did just that........power. Though, the Crown looked tasty, it was much more than I needed.
