Which Amp Is your Better Pick, Crown Or QSC?

If you had to choose one of the two, wattage being equal, what would be your pick between the two. Vote In Poll.

QSC for me. I am a big fan of the PL series of amps. Crown makes a solid product though.

QSC as I have the 2450. I've had that one over 10 years. It's the first one I had when I came back and it has been in the shop once in all that time. The power button stopped working.

I picked Crown in the poll but I think both are great amps.

6 of one, half dozen of the other. I'd pick whichever one was cheaper....for the first one. For any subsequent amps, I'd pick whichever one I already had.

I have Crown and QSC in my setup, but the I chose Crown, because I have not been able to get that thing to blow hot (maybe warm) air yet.

Crown all the way. Having said that, QSC does make some good amps also.

I have 3 QSC PLX2 amps and they have been stalwarts. I had one Crown amp (Xti1000). It was fine also, though build quality was far from the QSCs.

I also own 3 PLXs. 8 years of reliable duty...so far.

Give me the one Made in USA.

 

[steve149]

The QSC PL and PLX amps are made in the US (the RMX and GX are not).

I love the weight of the QSC's, and I love the sound of QSC speakers.

The last Crown product I used was the old 300 amp...aka "the boat anchor".

Every test lab around here had a DC300 in it.
