Hello Everyone,
I have the opportunity to purchase one of several pro audio amps for my sub, and I would like to ask for some advice.
My sub will be an Earthquake Magma 15, which has a long-term power handling capacity of 500 watts rms (rated conservatively), a nominal impedance of 6.6 ohms, and a one-way linear excursion of 25mm. I will also be using a BFD in the signal path.
I have the opportunity to purchase any one of the following pro audio amps at a very good price (all prices are within $50 of each other):
Thank you in advance,
Chris

I have the opportunity to purchase any one of the following pro audio amps at a very good price (all prices are within $50 of each other):
- AB International Precedent Series 600LX (good condition) - 750 x 1 rms @ 8 or 4 ohms. I don't know much about this one, but a friend (musician) strongly recommended it. The fan seems loud, and there is no turn-on/turn-off muting.
- BGW 750C (fair condition) - Approximately 600 x 1 rms @ 8 ohms. Old model (~20 years old), but the build quality seems very good. Supposedly used in many theaters.
- QSC RMX1450 (mint condition) - 900 x 1 rms @ 8 ohms, 1400 x 1 rms @ 4 ohms. It is a newer model, but I am not sure of the build quality compared to the others. I might consider this one if QSC's extended warranty can be purchased by the second owner.
- QSC Series One 1400 (good condition) - 600 x 1 rms @ 8 ohms, older model, THX approved for cinema installations.
Thank you in advance,
Chris
