AMP - Peavey 2600 or Europower 2500??

[Altus]

As mentioned in my newbie post I've been looking to get some PA gear for the firework displays I do. Well I took the plunge and got on ebay and bought what hopefully will be a good buy:

Just wondering which of the two above amp's would be the best buy to power these.

I read a few posts that Carlsboro were ex manufacturers for Maplin and seen some posts saying they used to make a good speaker so hoping these vintage heavy weights would be a good buy to start my system off until budget allows upgrades.

Perfect sound clarity within my budget £400ish all in wasn't really viable but hopefully these are a good buy as it'll be open field use.

Opinions on used amps I should now be looking to pair with these.

Thanks

Not had experience of the Peaveys but the Behringers are pretty bullet proof, not the greatest sounding but good enough for what they cost.

Peavey have a good reputation with Bands which is why I bought 2 powered mixers and plenty of speakers==should be totally reliable-- never had a problem in 6 years--;)

Peavey amps all the way - never had a problem with teh ones ive had.

Altho I must say am impressed with Kams new 1" KXD4400 digital Amp,( weighs in at 6.7kg), which ive Recently brought. using my UL15's - as good as quality as my peavey cs3000 amp which ways far far more !

I would go for the Peavey 2600 everytime.
I have a two Peavey 2600s, great amps, and very easy too pick up a good quality little used one for around the £400 mark.
