Not very futureproof i would have thought? Isnt the CA series long discontinued?

I also remember reports of creeping pcb failures due to moisture slowly seeping into the middle layers, with fatal results. (source: an experienced german amp service tech)

The Crest CA18 is very, very long in the tooth now and ones that are newer cost a fotune as far as i've seen although used ones are rare.  The EV Q99 amplifiers are perfectly capable of being bridged mate EV themselves told me that and i've spoken to a few people who've used and still do use EV's Q series amplifiers bridged and they've not said anything about any problems. Plus one told me he's been bridging them a few years without a single problem. By the way Bob instead of posting about 3 or 4 different replies can you put what you've got to say into a single reply, thanks.

Crest CA18 will not dissapoint!


CA18 just like 9001, and Crown Macrotech 5000VZ, will most definitely disappoint, if not fed steady, non sagging mains supply...

QSC 5050, and Void Infinite8 MK2, are typically more efficient on power draw, and hence less prone to saggy mains.

I do it as i see fit:
1) atm mostly posting from a phone, easier to have multiple short posts than one lng one
2) i've noticed that People easily overlook stuff in a longer post, they simply dont bother reading
