Hey Guys
 
The new bass is going to be stereo so I need some help on making some purchasing choices. I am looking for ideas for a stereo amp in the thousand watt range as well as which way to go with the Alembic pre-amps. All of my playing is done using ten inch speakers. I either use two tens,four tens,or six tens depending on the gig. I am a freelance player so my styles vary I look for versatility. That is why I always have so many switches on my basses. Even if you don't have a stereo rig and you have heard something that sounded good please chime in. Currently I play Eden amps and cabs.

Are your cabs 4 ohm or 8 ohm?
By thousand watt range do you mean 1,000 watts per channel or 500 watts per channel?

cabs are 8ohms and 500 per side or somewhere in that range.

The QSC PLX 3002 is 550 watts per channel into 8 ohms.

Is there a reason you chose this amp? Do you use something simular? I am not familiar with this product, how reliable is it? Also, thanks for your imput.

I have a QSC PLX 2402.  I think it's a great amp.  It's relatively light weight and the specs are very good.  A number of people here in the forum use PLX amps.  They seem to have a very good reputation.  If you run a search of the forum for PLX, you should find several discussions that you may find helpful.
