Why are people trying to sell these on eBay, at absurd price !?

Since when does CA12=£950, CA9=£750, CA6=£500 !?

Is it unscrupulous PA firms trying to upgrade to lightweights ?

Not really.. LOL

Was looking for CA9, but so many ebay dreamers, means settling for slightly lower powered QSC instead. Wink

Between this forum and the bay ive seen CA12 go for 550-650 but what happens is we just watch it thinking its going to be there all the time but its not the key is to have the money ready for when one becomes available they are defo over priced on the bay

For £550 to £650 I could get an amp that could stomp CA12 into the ground.

Would much rather buy MA2400, rated at 800wpc, probably does 1kwpc, much stronger amp, proven touring class. CA12 is just stripped down 8001.

In couple years, old school amplifiers, will raise up their money value, because, real people will appreciate real value for those good amplifiers, real touring amplifiers, insteat lightweight thousand watts lies amplifiers.
 
The people will remember the real amps, even they are heavy, and will love their great sound and reability,smashing down, lightweight amplifiers, of thousands watts from 1U case...

I'm looking for something to run 2" compression horns on and was also taking a look at these two manufacturers.

What would you guys recommend... Crest CA4? QSC RMX1450? Something completely else?

Do you think a CA12 is also better than an Infinite 6 for mids?

Got a qsc mx700 (class AB) running my comps (bms 4548) and it sounds sweet.
Better even than a crest pro 4801.
