What if it turns out to be a repeat of the Peavey DECA debacle?     (Sorry if I dredged up old demons for any Peavey people here.)

I guesstimate the 6000 puts out ~1150 watts per channel @ 8 ohms based upon the ratio between the 1600's 8 and 4 ohm rating. Yah, pretty brain dead of Peavey not to publish the 8 ohm ratings - they musta been taken over by !@#$%^& MBA's .

Maybe the amps are unstable when run into high impedance loads. Or they get too cold.

The DECA was an achievement for what and when it was done... switching device technology has come a long way since then,..   That said.. I'm glad it wasn't my baby.

Grant,

With being out of the loop here for quite a long time I noticed that Crest is on Peavey's site. What the story behind this, was there some type of merge, buy out or something I just never knew?



Looks like the write up for the Peavey and Crest amps are very similar also.

You missed the 800w @ 2ohms on each of the outputs . Prol'ly a photoshopped IPR-1600. I've long ago concluded that the entire marketing and documentation departments at Peavey consist of government subsidized "mentally disabled" workers out of one of them "adult daycare" places .

HI Scott-

What cave or desert island have you been occupying? Is there more room?

Crest was purchased by Peavey... er, "strategic alliance was formed" about 5 years ago.

Latest news: parent company of Behringer purchased Midas/KT.  No joke.

Have fun, good luck.

I would like to see binding posts along with the Speakons and xlr pass through connectors. And a USB port.

I guess all that would add to the cost.
