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
