erikill Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks ellis - still looking for a 2 channel around $700 that pairs nicely with RF-7s. Just picked up a B&K 200.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikill Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Been negotiating with him - he's too high - 2 weeks ago 2 separate ones both sold for 500 / 600 with shipping. No deal is better than a bad deal :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for a QSC PLX2. Phenomenal with 7's. It's a class D right? I have the crown now it just seems super bright for my liking...going to see how the B&K sounds since I do like a lot of 2 channel music Edited October 2, 2015 by erikill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 If you can't get the 200.2 at the price you want, consider this for your rear surrounds. A tad high also but the ad does say "make offer". https://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-b-k-reference-125-2-s2-stereo-amplifier-in-factory-box-2015-09-28-amplifiers-80020-broomfield-co The 200.5 will do a fine job running your LCR and surrounds.

Bill Hmm not a bad idea either - would this be better for the RB-75 or the RS-7s? I would think the RB-75s would rather have all the power from a 200wpc. Let me try offering this guy and see what he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's a class D right? I have the crown now it just seems super bright for my liking. I had a rack of Crowns prior to the QSC's. Night and day difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 The PLX's and PLX-2's sound the same, just a few different features. You can get a used one fairly at a fairly reasonable price. I have 4 in my living room and they're very non fatiguing. You just have to put a quiet fan in them. I've had probably half a dozen or more forum members over for listening and all loved them.

Hmm that's good to hear on class D. I know a lot of people also enjoy the Peachtree 220s - but this crown has really turned me off to class D (even though as a CmpE / EE by degree I should know class D is the way to go). I think I'll stick to the B&K's for right now but I definitely would like to hear the PLX - are you in the Houston / Austin area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 are you in the Houston / Austin area? A little over an hour from Houston, due east on I-10. Forum members have an open invitation for demo's and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That person is the same one who has it listed on ebay and they are firm. I'd rather spend the 100 bucks more for 2x the power. I'll just wait till they don't sell to move in :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I think QSC categorizes them as a class H amp. I'm not sure what the difference is, I only know they sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
