[QUOTE="Chris Van Duker, post: 51731, member: 1113"] Re: Peavey IPR DSP..Waves? I've been using and enjoying the IPR 3000 amps, but have decided to stay away from the DSP versions, because they're missing two essential things (at least, according to the current manual on their website): 1) Ability to store more than one preset, or to transmit settings over some medium such as USB -- if you want to move an amp to another use, you have to program in all the parameters from scratch. 2) Any kind of limiting other than the built-in DDT -- it works ok if your limiting needs match the amp's size, but even the smallest model could roast a compression driver if you're not careful. I suspect that both of these could be addressed with not much more than a firmware update -- the limitations are probably there so they can differentiate the product from the Crest Pro-Lite, which has those things. Unfortunately, the Pro-Lites stop at 3000w, so unless I want to bridge amps for the subs, it's still only half a solution. The best good-light-loud-cheap solution still seems to be the analog IPRs, a DCX2496+spare, and whatever sub amps until the big IPRs are released. [/QUOTE]
