This is very tempting. Does it really only weight 8.6 lbs and 10.4 lbs, packed. Doesn't the box indicate 12.4 lbs. (though that's still insanely light given what I currently use). I know nothing about these amps. What type of sound do they produce? I'm using a Phil Jones 9B and 6B so I'm looking for something that very neutral.

I was the one who talked Craig into getting it based on my experience with my first generation IPR 3000. I've used many, many amps, from McIntosh and Crown in the 70s to CM Labs, Ashley in the 80s, to Crest and QSC in the 90s and beyond. I've quit using anything else. It's powerful, clean, clear, and deep. It's very neutral.

The only negative aspect to this amp, which isn't really a big deal at all, is that bridging it isn't just a matter of pushing a switch, you have to jumper the channels and then use a special speaker cable, which is easy to wire: + of one channel to + of the speaker and + of the other channel to the - of the speaker.

As far as the weight goes, I trust Peavey's website. When mine showed from UPS, I thought the box was empty.

I don't know that I trust the power specs, but I don't trust any power specs these days and if I start hitting the limit lights while bridged, I know I'm too loud, it's still not distorting, and should turn down anyway.

All in all, a great amp. I never would have guessed I'd have been so enthusiastic about a Peavey amp, but there it is.

Craig,I have sent you an email re buying the amp

mike13 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 25, 2015, 07:18:29 AM »

Craig,I am just trying to find out if it has switching or jumpers to change from 110v to 240volt maybe some one on the forum knows

Bassman8416 · « **Reply #9 on:** March 25, 2015, 04:56:33 PM »

Mike I called Peavey, it would require some sort of modification on your part or someone in Australia in order for it to be used with 240v.

Thanks for that,if it's a tap on the power tx thats easy as long as it does not need a new Trany
