We all heard the staying, "get what you paid for".
In rare cases it doesn't apply. Finding an 1500W
amp for under $300 that's reliable is gonna be a
slightly difficult find (great condition, used) unless
it's a local purchase.
And "no", just because you purchase lower priced
amplifier from Crown, QSC or Crest Audio doesn't
suggest loss of reliability. I would recommend that
you be sure that this is the power range you do
require--always sensible to have more than less.
Over the years we have purchased many PRO
amps from eBay and local shops--eBay deals
were always better. EP1500 looks pretty nice
for it's cost and the reviews of it bigger brother
makes it appealing. You already know your
spending limits, so work from there. Consider
that for $100 more you can purchase the 2500
or even an excellent used PRO amplifier.
