[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 2530594, member: 540940"] for one thing, PA won't do what it's rated for. I bet your "440x2" amp is closer to 350x2. Not as if that will make a huge audible difference, but over-rated's over-rated, especially if it's 20%+. I don't think you NEED to go bigger, but if you're comfortable spending ~$400 it makes sense to me to get as much power as you can in an amp that's known to be reliable. If you were to get the nine.1, for example -- that's a 1200w amp, but it will safely produce 1300-1400 when/if you need it to. Plus, it's warranted for 3 years. Generally - higher priced amps in the same power range get you -- more "actual" power higher overall quality - better design, better parts, usually better/more precise controls more durability [/QUOTE]
