This is the second Crown amp I have purchased and will complement my other two amps used for sound reinforcement of our band. This amp will be used to run 2 Yamaha 15" Club Series mains. The other larger Crown amp I have runs 4 other 15" mains (2 per side). We also use a larger Crown for our mains at our church for mains. I have cheaper amps that I will continue to replace with Crown because of the reliability, performance and customer service after the purchase. Example being, one amp was damaged in shipment, called customer service and explained the damage. To my surprise, they not only repaired the amp but paid for shipping both ways! It’s the no fault for 3 year warranty. I know of no other company providing this level of service. (and I have worked with the other suppliers over the years a bit)
