Actually, there is a point in your clarifying this. I'd like to have a dollar for every commercial movie theater implementation of the Yamaha P4500, a relatively inexpensive pro audio amp. There are thousands out there. And there isn't a whole lot of "difference" between it and the Tapco Juice amps. Please enlighten us as to the difference between "Pro grade" amps and "DJ amps." Thank You.
The difference is that some of the more 'pro' amps usually won't inflate their power ratings as much, have better circuit topology and cooling abilities to allow them to run hot for a long time without dying and they're built to withstand a fall out of the back of a truck. But for the most part any decent amp (dj amps included) running within their design constraints are going to sound the same with a normal load.
