Re: Crest repair center needed
Yes. This.
If you don't like the amplifiers, I'd recommend sending any broken ones in to Crest and getting them fixed.
Then sell them all and get something you feel like you can trust.
Or, you can just keep bitching about it on an internet forum... whatever you think is going to help you the most.
Incidentally, I've still not received any messages from anyone who has been having reliability issues. However, I did speak with a couple associates over the last weekend and I know that there are a couple good sized sound reinforcement companies around here that have invested quite heavily (I'm talking about literally hundreds of amplifiers) into the Pro 200 series Crest Audio amplifiers and have not been having any problems with them at all. In one case I know they have displaced racks of Crown MA5000 and MA5002 amplifiers to provide lighter sub racks. Also, they have threatened to replace the Lab.gruppen FP6400's in another set of racks...
I guess the bottom line here is that you need to have gear that you feel like you can trust. If your current gear doesn't do that for you, you should probably look into what you need to do to get gear you can trust. If you are using this equipment to make money, it needs to be reliable and trustworthy above all else.
