The Quest For Wattage
My trusty Stewart power amp sounds amazingly good. It’s a reference-quality studio amp and delivers a very clean 60 watts to my 8-Ohm speakers. The issue of late is that I’m playing bigger venues and could use a little more oomph. The logical step would be to find a bigger power amp. I’ve started to look into the 300 watt amps made by Crest, Crown and QSC; all three manufacturers have amps in this range that cost pretty much the same. I’m pretty sure I can find one that is under 20 pounds and is designed to withstand the rigors of road life. All that remains is do the research on lab results and figure out what to sell in order to make the purchase.
