New Amp

[DJkiller]

Hello,

Im looking for a new amp to power two 300watt speakers.

I was looking at the W-Audio DA-800, is this ok?

Thanks
Mick

Are the cabs 8ohms, or 4ohms? 300 watts RMS, Program. or peak?

If the speakers are 8r, definitely not - this amplifier is grossly underpowered at 250w/ch/8r

If the speakers are 4r, it is still not ideal as it only delivers 300w/ch

You want an amplifier that delivers 1.5 to 2.0 times the RMS of the load

They are DAS DS-15. 8ohms and 300watt RMS

OK. Default setting.

Others of not dissimilar value are available, but this one does exactly what it says on the tin.

http://www.behringer.de/EN/Products/EP2500.aspx Bulletproof apparently.

That's a quick run down of the cheap and cheerful ones that are known to be generally reliable, and capable of delivering the output they promise.
