    I dont want to hurt any one feelings but I just listen to crown xs500-ce 2000 and behringer ep2500. the crown had a more harsh sound then the behringer. the behringer was more smooth and relax. the bass was about the same. I dont know how and the hell they can sell this amp for what they are asking for it . parts express sell it for 299 brand new in the box. on ebay some dealer is selling them for 258$ .i like crown- qsc-crest and etc. but crown and any other pro amp on the market can not compete with the price or sound of the behringer. this is to damm good to be true.I am waiting for the amp to blow up or get a recall on all behringer amps. just take a listen to crown -crest any amp compare to behringer ep2500. 450 watts rms at 8 ohms. damping factor 300 at 8 ohms. and I dont want to seem like I am bashing any company amp. but get real 258 $ compare to a 2000$ or more amp. i dont know how behringer is making any money or profit. I think they are tring to piss off all pro audio company out there who claim there amp sound great with lotts a power down to 2 ohms

    hello I just read a forum were some one said-quote behringer is not in a class with crown nor qsc. no behringer doesnt have the years nor the name as crown or qsc has. but I love the sound of a well built amp. I am not going to jump on a company band wagon just becuse they made some pretty good amps for the last 40 years. if any one comes out with a good sounding amp at a unheard of price you damm right i am going to speak up about a good product. look out crown behinger is niping at your ass. if crown is in a class by it self they better come up with a plan to out do behinger ep2500.

    I swear I am not bashing crown . I like and own crown. but behringer has an amp for 299$ dollars and the sound is smoother than you know who.I thought this forum was a place were you can get any info you need on just about any audio eq. I love it when some one make a product that can compete with other products costing up to4-5-6 times as much. that is a better deal not only for me but any one who wants to buy that product. the reason I post this was to let any one who looking to buy a amp for there stereo or sur-sound. befor you spend a lot of money take a look at behringer ep2500. just listen to it. let your ears be the judge. I also love this forum for what it is and has to offer. Thanks crown for making some good amps over the last 40 years

    Hello
    I don't think Crown is too worried about Behringer taken over their amp market. The Crown XS series and the CE2000 are Crown's lower end products with the XS's being built in China, who knows maybe by the same factory turning out the Behringer's. The Behringer power amps are direct copies of the QSC RMX series power amps. The RMX's are very good sounding and durable low cost power amps. While I have not done a direct side by side listening comparison between a RMX power amp and a similar import amp from Crown I can say the QSC RMX is built better and has more features than the XS series from Crown. I use the Crown Macro Techs and the QSC PL2 series in my systems with excellent results.
    For what it's worth Behringer has been sued multiple times by many companies for patent and copyright violations and at this very moment has a large fine slapped on them from the FCC for importing digital equipment that has not been certified by the FCC.

    Behringer is well known for reliability problems on the road, ('probably not an issue for you - cross your fingers), and as mentioned, has been sued a number of times for directly copying other companies' products - that's what bothers me the most about them. That said, if you like the sound and it holds up for you, go for it.

    The Verdict???

    OK, my old sub amp died the other day and the Behringer is looking pretty good for the $$$. This would be to push my W15GTI (12 ohms) and occasionally the W15GTI in parallel with a 2235 (8 ohms). Thus, the need to make good power at high impediance while being able to easily negotiate a 4.8 ohm load.

    Did anyone actually end up getting one and what are your impressions? How noisey is the fan?

    Thanks.

    Sorry to wait so long to post to this thread again(forgot to sub). The fans in both the ep1500 and ep2500 are pretty loud. My brother runs the ep1500 on two 15" subs (dayton quattro's) and I run the ep2500 on my diy subs. Luckily I run my amps in an equipment closet so it cuts the sound down a lot. My brother's amp is in the open and it can be a tad distracting at times.

    I run several pro amps in my setup...the behringer is loudest by far, then the qsc plx1602 is next, then qsc usa900 and the least noisy pro amp I run is a samson s1000. The usa900 and especially the s1000 make very little noise even though they both are fan cooled like the others.
