But it is about the Original Poster who asked for an amp under $500 and hasn't gotten a lot of help. I have three PS400s and probably six PS200s, and none of them has blown up anything in several decades of use.

The poor OP just wanted some suggestions and he got two posts saying why he shouldn't choose "pro amps" and two posts specifying problems with two different specific Crown amp models, neither of which where in my original recommendation and only one of which even met the OP's price limits.

I'm just trying to help answer the guy's questions, but if y'all wanna use me as the straight man for your war stories, be my guest!

Not that any of this makes much difference since the OP is currently a one-post wonder and has yet to return.

And he's in Virginia, where (if we only knew where) he could probably get a lot of help—and maybe even the loan of an amp to try.
