[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 67352, member: 158"] Re: Driving stage wedges well Mitch, for a 'hobbyist' you ask very good questions. First, good call on the X32. can't think of a better choice for what you want to do. Second, i'd go with powered speakers as wedges. they just solve all kinds of problems and, as you said, can double as small main speakers. Third, yes a 'stereo' power amp is really essentially just two mono amps in a box. you can run two different monitor mixes off it should you decide to go the non-powered route. I wouldn't go with bridging smaller amps. you get into issues with hooking them up being more complex, you can't hang as many speakers off one mix, etc. a decent sized amp running in regular ol' normal mode is the simplest, easiest way to go. short of powered wedges. :) as to specific models to recommend, someone else will have to chime in there...
