Lev, I know in reality you'd never stump up the cash for one of your own, but have you given the CF18 a punt on a K20?

Don't see the point really. Decent, bridged 4K transformer amp is much cheaper, and man enough to spank 2x of them into oblivion, no problem. With a "pre-amp" in the chain, that is.  EDIT:So as you can see, CF18VJD is not for normal people.  Edited by levyte357- - 25 December 2012 at 10:50am |

My question is, what's point of buying 20K amp, if you're never gonna have 20K power supply available? |

if a 10k amp rated at 4k per channel at 4r can't power 2 drivers a channel its an embarressment. k10, inf8 can spank 4 drivers no problem. if budget doesn't allow then 2 bridged amps such as mpx1200, 4050hd, proline3000, str3000

this is true lev, but if you spec your gear for the venue before u go then power should never be an issue.... if venue has 32 you take the 32 leads or 16 leads etc, if you only have 13amp plugs then u would not take gear needing a 32 supplie....

true luton, meant a 20k to spank 4 drivers not 2, with a good amount of head room..... the cf18 won't handle 5k cont... but having good head room is how i like to run... the is no questioning the cf18 likes to be fed power... but for me is worth it less boxes, less crew more profit margin from events...

Unfortunately many halls out there, that hold 2K+ people, with only 13A plugs available. Sounds with efficient drivers and cabs, can escape with 8x subs, if they have right amps and engineer knows what he's doing. Go in these places with 1600W drivers, and 20K amps, and it might not turn out well. |

I'm not really sure how that's remotely relevant? I was only asking if Lev had access to a K20 and if he had tried it, as he seems to respect the K10 but states these drivers are power hungry. If anything can give a driver the juice it needs, it's a K20, and I know somebody who was lucky enough to find one for £2k second hand… As for only having 13A plugs, just set the front panel to only draw a relevant amount of juice. No need for different amps. Edited by toastyghost - 25 December 2012 at 4:42pm |
