[QUOTE="Weogo Reed, post: 132288, member: 1226"] Re: Crest Pro Lite 7.5 Hi Folks , A couple more notes on the Pro Lite 7.5: This amp is front-to-back deep, so you can't leave connections plugged in when using standard depth SKB cases. As noted elsewhere, this is sort-of an upgraded Peavey IPR series amp, though turned upside down. So I have the Crest in a rack with a Peavey IPR3000, and the power switches, level controls are on the opposite side, and around back, power and inputs/outputs are flip-flopped. Occasionally cabling would be easier with everything lined up. Not really a big deal, but I really don't see the sense in differentiating these products in this manner. The input XLRs are upside down. Not a big deal, since there is no release tab, but, but, really??? I still haven't had a chance to really push them. Last summer I tried pushing a pair of Tom Danley's original td-1s hard with the amp but my ears were hurting before I could get the amp even warm. At last night's show the 7.5 was pushing a pair of SM80s at an acapella show and far from breaking a sweat. If I tap on the case something rattles, but I have never heard this when in use. For fairly high output, lower weight and modest cost, for me it is a keeper. Thanks and good health, Weogo [/QUOTE]
