so my trusty behringer ep1500 died a few days ago. it was a straight up copy of a qsc amp down to the board. i think it delivered 2x200 or so W at 8 ohms. i used it bridged for a peerless xls 10 incher 2 ohm (prototype) for about 2-3 years with the fan unhooked and after maybe 30 minutes it would cut out and it smelled like burnt transistors.
but now for the last 2 years i have been very kind to the amp. i built a new bassbox, now it sees 8 ohms per channel. but still i didn't want that jet plane fan running 24/7. but now last week it just died. dafuq...
and to be honest i dont know if its worth fixing. i basically fried it for several years. and i knew i was doing this.
---------------
so now i'm looking for a new amp. preferably some cheaper but good studio amp. maybe (real) 2x200W@8 ohm or more. preferably no class D/pwm ****. preferably real analog class a/b. i think i can pay 500€ for this. the behringer was like 200€. and the real qsc was about 1 grand. not getting a real qsc though. nor a bryston...
i'm overheating my backup NAD 2x40 watter now fairly easily. so i need beefier than this. maybe 10db hotter.
any brands to look into? what do you recommend?
