I use this amp for 6 months. I compared it with amps and crown XLS TSB and LPS. The advantages of this amp are: moderate weight, good protection and manufacturer of realistic features!

Compared to the crown, the GX5 has better definition and does not lack punch! The sound sent by the crown appears "chopped" next to the QSC is much more clear and homogeneous. The integrated crossover works great!

Then on the sub: and in spite of a damping factor which seems low it is doing very well:
- Over 12 "no problem, easy for him!
- Over 15 "very good punch
- On 2 x 15 "(4 ohms) drive well if you do only one branch channel (850 W available in this case!)
- Over 18 "then it starts to hurt! But he is doing all the same correctly if pushed to its limits!

Besides what I like about this amp though is that it does not clip almost if we do not push the table back in the red! And after 8 hours to send it not heat! A good place also for full connectivity.

If not for the defects: it lacks a true bridge (-1 pt) and the ability to charge into 2 Ohms (-2pts) but at this price it seems difficult ...

To summarize, a very good entry that gives much for its money!
