Plate amp to pro amp?

[joest]

How much if any difference could I gain from changing to a pro amp to drive my IB. Right now I'm using a single PE 250watt plate amp (no Boost model) & running 4 Dayton DVC 15's in dual manifolds. I am really happy with the way things sound but curiosity has the best of me. Plus I have another use for the plate amp in my basement if I upgrade. I was thinking of using a Crown XLS 402 to replace it, & most likely will finally add a BFD to the system as well.
Thinks in advance for any thoughts on the matter.

Consider the Behringer EP-1500 it's cheaper and has more power. So is the Nady XA900. You could get the BFD for free given the cost difference between these amps and the Crown.

I think you'll be please with the difference in performance

Look on the Steals and Deals page in the Misc stuff section of the forum for links

I just ordered two Nady 1100 amps (one for my IB and one for three buttkickers) from Amazon for $142.99 each with free shipping.
