Looking at the NADY 2100 and the Behringer 2500... does anyone have experience with both to compare them? Generally, is one considered 'better' than the other... They have similar output, and are about the same price at Musicians Friend... Does anyone have thoughts? (yeah... nobody has an opinion here...  ) |

I'm not aware of anyone doing a comparison between these amps.

Is there a general thought about which is a 'better' amp - Nady or Behringer? I don't have experience with pro audio gear...

I went with the Nady XA-2100... almost 52lbs of raw power... ;D I like it a lot, I'll be changing out the fans for some quiet ones, and it'll be even better. I had considered a used Crown K2 (around $800), but decided on a new XA-2100 for $299 delivered... Bottom feeder or not, it's built like a tank... I'm not moving it around or abusing it, so it should last for a lifetime.

Oh, then you've never seen a Peavey CS-800 from the early eighties --- what a boat-anchor! I would almost take a look at Crown's CE2000 amplifier if I were looking for a reputable high-wattage IB amp.

In an IB is there going to be any SQ difference for similarly powerful amps? ep2500/nady2100/crown k2 say?

For subwoofer frequencies I can't imagine there would be significant audible differences between those switching amps.
Now that's a guess since I have no way of actually doing a comparison.
I've used high-end analog amps (Aragon 8008) running my IB's and there is a SQ difference between those and the switching amps. But one needs to factor on the double or triple price difference into the equation.
