While still a bit pricey, http://www.terralec.co.uk/power_amplifi ... 915_p.html looks like a good choice to the very untrained eye..

Otherwise, as you suggested grant i could go with the XTI series.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CROWN-XTi-200 ... EACj_UJaPw

That's what i was looking at.. so a couple questions.. (again, i'm sorry!) Would buying that amp mean I wouldn't have to buy a seperate limiter, EQ, and crossover? Saving me a good shot of cash (if it does)
the other thing is, it's 800w at 4ohms.. would that be scraping the barrel or would i want overhead?!
The sync amp is around 70V output per channel. Again, that's good for the subs.
That amp would require outboard DSP as well.

Look at the Crown XTI 4002 (not the 2002 as you have linked which is barely powerful enough) for similar output.
It's been ages since I've looked at the DSP in the XTI series, but from memory it was ok...
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...

+1, I run the 2002 for my OT12's and the 4002 for my T30's and use the limiters on the amps, which do their job well.
Built:
6 T30 (24", 3012LF)
2 OT12 (MA, 3012HO)
2 T24 (18", 3010LF)
