Good to know..I was looking at those or the Behringer EP4000.
I am about to get one myself. I was hesitating. Now I'm gonna go ahead and buy it.Quote:

Everyone I've talked to has pretty much said that the Crown XLS is the better amp over the Behringer EP'sQuote:

Just ordered my XLS last night
crown is good stuff but ive been using behringer for my pro audio needs since i started playing instruments and its **** hard to beat behringer, older stuff even better but they havnt cheaped out yet. both are good but ive had better experience with behringer. the 4500h with the 4x10 cab was my favorite semi portable home/pro audio bass set up ever.Quote:

xls 2500 or xls 1000? i just bought a xls 1000 too :)
didnt bash behringer that was my second choice honestly but i hear ya. i just love the built in crossover and ive beat the **** outta this amp and its yet to not amaze me haha. about to get a dc xl 15 wired at 4 ohm bridged on my xls 2500 and use the jbl jrx 115s on my xls 1000 :)
i know you didnt lolQuote:

You'll probably have to pre-amp/line-drive the signal cuz you'll only be getting about half of the amp's output otherwise with no headroom at all.
A great, inexpensive option is to use a DJ type mixer with clean gains. This $250-ish Numark is $99 at GC and will be $79 Black Friday. iPod dock, lots of inputs, digital effects, cross-fade mixing, and yeah, tons of clean gain.

I've been using one as a hub for about 6 months to feed the Crowns and Samson. The XLS2000 is powering 3 JL 18W6's runnin IB and shaking the phuk out of the house...with NO BOX!!!

Because of Crown's excellent onboard programming options, you won't need an upstream crossover, time-alignment, etc.
