Crown is not still selling the MA series, they are selling the MAi series, which is an Itech without the DSP. They are less than 30 pounds and are going to stomp the Peavey in every way. Of course you're paying 3 times the price. One is a touring amp one is a weekend warrior amp. |

Hi Everyone, I have 2 JBL SR4718's that I'm running with 2 channels of a Crown MA3600. I also use it to power a pair of SR4719's outdoors. I know these speakers will handle more power than this, but it was all I could afford at the time I bought them. I'm not as young as I once was and am looking to get some lighter power amps. I am interested in the Peavey IPR6000. It's 2000 watts @ 4 ohms which is how I would run them. The only thing that makes me hesitate is this. Crown is still selling the MA series amplifiers and they are just as heavy & pricey as ever. If there's no difference between 2000 watts from a 6.2 lb. Peavey and 2000 watts from a a 65 lb. Crown, how could Crown continue to sell these monsters ? What trade-offs should I expect from replacing the Crowns with lighter Peaveys ? Thanx for your help. Don Ullstrom |

The MAi's lack the digital display of a DSP but still have Fast Ethernet/HiQNet/System Architect capability. You can configure RMS and Peak limiting, compression, + monitor other amp functions via your laptop and hard set those values to the amp. |

... It will be interesting to see how well the various lite amps hold up to vibrations from transporting. Will they fall apart? Which ones will hold up best? |
