XLS 1002 : Solid performer

I bought this after being recommended it by a friend who had got one for his studio. I got it to use with my old trusted passive studio monitor speakers as part of an upgrade.

The amp is very quiet with regards to the internal fan noise, in fact it gets drowned out by the quiet PC. However, it really delivers a good amount of power and is very transparent in terms of tone. It does exactly what it should do as you would expect from Crown. The amp is surprisingly light too! It replaced my old amp which was only 1u tall but the old one weighed almost twice as much as this one.

It sits in my studio rack looking very impressive with its light glowing. In fact if the lights were not on you wouldn't notice it.

Great power amp.
