Ok I have an EP2500 and it works great on my 2 T30's. I have an opertunity to purchase a GX5 at a good deal. Is it worth getting the GX5 and selling the EP2500? Is their a big difference in performance?

Thanks,

The QSC is a little more powerful......and has a much better rep than the Berry. I've never had a QSC lay down.....can't say the same about Behringer amps.

From what I've heard, the EP.... series are "OK" amps, ie, not much problems with them.

oK Thank you Bruce and Tom.

I think I will be putting up my EP2500 for Sale. Any idea what a good asking price would be?

My EP2500 took years of abuse for about 8 years before I sold it - just too heavy when compared to the new class d amps.

The GX5 is a step up and would snap it up if the price was right.

The GX5 is not that light (28lbs). The GX7 is much lighter and more powerful (16lbs).

I looked up the weight of the EP and the GX5 it is still 4Kg (9lbs) lighter. Not to be sniffed at!

Yep.....I still like my 9 lb Crowns...

Gx is only 4 ohm capable, ep2500 is 2 ohm stable and bridgeable. Output isn't much different. QSC is certainly a better brand but the EPs are pretty much copies of the RMX amps.

Had many EP and several GX amps. Short answer is no. But I will tell you the EP I've abused down to 2ohms because they're cheap and always had solid peformance even with 3 Tubas per channel. The GXs I have not run lower than 4ohms.

Thanks guys, The weight savings is what I am looking for. Better performance would be a plus. I am good with equal power and I dont plan on getting down to 2 Ohms.

Thanks again
