I recently added the iTech 8000 to my live rig. I have EAW LA325 tops (2) and the LA128 subs (s). Running mono I have used the iTech 4000 for smaller gigs, I run one channel for the 325's and the other for the 128's. I have contracted to do some heavier dance events over the summer so I thought it was time to get the iTech 8000 to run my LA128 double 18" subs.

The great thing about these amps is the on-board DSP, I programmed the EAW EQ curves into the amp and did a little tweaking and it's about as close to perfect as you can get. After adding the iT8k my system has really come to life, and with dance music regularly having notes as low as E0 (20.6hz) my system faithfully reproduces even the lowest notes with unbelivable punch and clairty (thanks in part to a damping factor > 5000) .

To sum these amps up: in thirty years of doing live sound for bands, corporate events and such in clubs, hotel ballrooms, and on casino stages I have never used an amp that sounded better, ran cooler or was more reliable, flexible, or programmable than these new Crowns.

The hefty price doesn't seem all that bad once you hear one. I now carry less than half the amps I used to haul, my system sounds way better (than any other amp I have ever used) and I'll probably be using these for the next 20 years.

Bottom line: if you want the best sounding and most powerful amp on the market today there is only one choice, the Crown iTech 8000, BUY ONE!
