[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8451431, member: 614752"] Again, the smaller amps are far more reliable and much cheaper to repair if and when they break. Trust me, the first time you pay 100$ to ship out your "10K" amp and then get an 800$ repair bill you won't be so impressed. You'll less impressed if it burns up the board and it's only worth the scrap metal value of the heatsink. Ship out a 3K for 30-40$ postage and a 250$ repair ticket is a lot easier to swallow AND you still have tunes while you're waiting 2 months for turnaround. I've played the big amp game. Got lucky with Stetsom 7K didn't fare so well with others. Call me old fashioned but if I wanted to blow hair around I'd ask you to get me your employee discount on a blow drier from K-Mart. I'll wager they're less than 40$ and it's not like I even have hair. I buy audio equipment to listen to music and compete occasionally just for the sake of supporting the hobby. [/QUOTE]
