Space: roughly 25 X 30 feet and roughly 15 feet ceiling ( sloped ) with one wall that has about 150 square feet worth of opening. music type: https://youtu.be/oiPFtqmb_Q4 all speakers and subs will be designed and built by me. worst case scenario i may get JBL or RCF tops and only DIY the subs.

"basically what are considered go to subwoofer amps for EDM ?" You can't beat a Crest 10001! Go forever. And no problem driving into 2 ohm. Perfect for your 8 subs. |

thank you fren ! unfortunately i'm already banned at diyAudio this forum was recommended to me on prosoundweb where i am not banned yet but they keep deleting all my threads because they say i can only talk about professional use and not home use ... i may come back to diyAudio for the third time after i study enough new material to disguise myself so they can't recognize me ... none of them recognized me when i came back last time but i have been away for almost 15 years so that was easy ... however to come back after only a few months i would need to completely reinvent myself ...

For home use, how often will you need to move it around? And dual purpose equipment is all the rage these days! |

ok well to further clarify then i'm looking for amps that are: - class D - SMPS - 2RU - 4 channels or more ideally about 8 X 1000W in about a 20" deep, 30lbs chassis or so. MUST BE ABLE TO RUN SUBS ON ALL CHANNELS AT THE SAME TIME the Ottocanali meets most of my requirements but it's kinda pricey and i'm not sure it can actually run subs on all 8 channels at the same time - can it ?

Yep it's built like a piece of industrial communications equipment.. something I have seen a lot of having worked for 20yrs in manufacturing and R&D for one of north americas biggest telecommunications companies. Class D is very electrically efficient.. that is why those amplifiers don't need as much fan cooling, but I agreee the 1U form factor is an unnecessary compromise for an installation where less fan noise is preferred. I don't know what to suggest, separate power amplifiers are becoming extinct in pro audio as most production has shifted to powered speakers, there are still some 2-ch versions abailable at the budget end of the spectrum but all the touring grade amps are big $$ to buy new and there is no middle ground.. unless you look at buying used.

"ok well to further clarify then i'm looking for amps that are:

The Ottocanali is a 2U amp, and the DSP+D model has all the processing chops to do everything you’d need. That includes a dedicated 'install' software option in Armonia Plus, with remote control of presets, levels and the like via wall panel or custom tablet/phone app, if you want.
As for output power, the current demand in a domestic environment should be low - especially with a properly configured multi-sub setup. There's a bunch of output power options in the same chassis, and plenty of home (and pro) cinemas that use those models. They have smart rails management and transparent multi-stage limiting as well. Once configured correctly, it should be as 'set and forget' as can be. |

all TVs get a 5 year warranty from Costco. i used my Samsung for a month then called Costco and they sent me $300 price adjustment because the TV went down in price. i then used it for another month and returned it to Costco for full refund. Costco came out and picked it up themselves and they refunded every penny including delivery and installation. The TV had a minor issue that they never bothered to verify was even there - they just took it back no questions asked. the Samsung model before mine ( previous year ) was found problematic so Samsung bought them back from customers and replaced them with a new model for free. I have read about people replacing their Samsung TV from Costco FIVE TIMES because they were not happy with the picture. all at no cost. try that with Sinbosen ... when manufacturer and seller stand behind the product like that they have a very strong incentive to design the product in such a way that you will be happy enough with it to keep it ... and vice versa ...
yes PA speakers for mobile DJs are going self-powered there was a point where JBL Arrays went self-powered as well but it seems that direction was abandoned and now they all require external amplification and DSP ... basically separate amps are alive and well for touring and install applications just not for mobile PA applications like Proms, Weddings etc. i guess their logic is people are morons so if you build the amp into the speaker and include undefeatable filters and limiters you potentially save the speaker from these dumb animals. on other hand in full-on PRO sound people are professionals and can actually be trusted to set up equipment correctly. but equipment for professionals comes at a different price point. and then there is XLS ... it's a separate amp from a major manufacturer and it's clearly not designed for professionals. maybe they keep the power low on purpose so you can't blow up any speakers with it. all the comments i read about it on AVS are the same - quiet, reliable ... not enough power. anyway i'm out to sleep. TTYL.
