Then you are looking at the wrong Crowns.

I would have to agree. If a consumer grade amp was ever built with even 2/3 the power output of the Crown 5002 I am unaware of such a beast. This is one of those monsters that is held back by the power of the 120v 15a wall connection. Thats also why it has a 220v option.
Truly a monster of an amp. For a while this was the top of the food chain in pro audio and its like. Now with amps from Power Soft , Lab Gruppen so on those power barriers have been shattered. And by amps weighing 1/4 that of a 5002. That being said, you cant generate more power than you take in. And even these $15k 10kw power amps have interesting looking distortion at certain power levels and freq points. But hey, thats allot of power from a small foot print.
But back to the beast! LOL
