share lang ng friend ko. after learning about the new crown lps series, he decided to try the lps1500 to power 4 units jbl jrx115 2way speaker system. 2 per side at parallel config (4 ohms load).

from mar 6 (phonic) to k6 (konzert) to the crown lps1500. according to him, cleaner sound and it doesn't 'clip' easily even on occasional pop band gigs.

now he's happy

sa totoo lang, walang factory ang CROWN sa China, obviously gawa ang mga LPS amplifiers na ito by an OEM manufacturer under the watchful eyes of CROWN.

katulad lang ng marami, naka ilang bukas na din kami ng CROWN (MT, Macro Tech, K Series) and the workmanship and even the quality of the components are not even close to CROWN product na 20 years ago. Mga high end models nalang ginagawa sa US, mga LPS and XLS, sa china nalang yan ang tatatakan ng CROWN. Parang QSC din, merong China and merong gawa pa talaga sa USA.

pero, kahit sa nasabi natin. pag dating sa ENRTY LEVEL Amps, kung CROWN LPS lang versus mga SVENTA, KEVLER, Behringer at ewan pang mga pilit na binebenta dyan dyan, bibili nalang ako nitong Crown LPS, mas may value, mas may porma, mas may resale value. Kung nahihinaan ka, mura na siya, bili ka ng dalawa and BRIDGE mo nalang per speaker. Masmaporma lalo!!! Kung masira, palitan mo ng bago, baka ang repair nito pag nasira eh kalahati na ang gastos.

pero, kahit lahat yan nasabi ko, wala paring gaganda sa pag bili ng mas mataas na modelo ng mga brands, mas matibay, mas maganda parin mga yun. kaya nga ENTRY LEVEL tawag sa mga amplifier na below $600 kasi nga ginawa sila para maging mura, hindi para maging matibay at maganda.

Kung meron ka pang internet at pang bili ng magandang cellphone..nararapat lang na may pangbili ka ng amplifier na pang hanap buhay mo.

Salamat

I'm sure madaming "amp related problems" mabibigyan solution ng Crown LPS na ito. From performance issues to "low" budget reasons. Sa mga small gigs to church set-ups, this is the perfect amp. Just change the amp, you get better results. . .

korek ka bro. kaya ako 3210 na lang cp ko binili ko ng crown joks. Bottomline is kung may budget ka at binili mo ng low quality amp malaki ang chance na magsisi at the end. Lalo na pag nasiraan ka at pa warranty mo ang amp at inabot ng birthday nya sa repair shop nako po mababadtrip ka.

I have pending projects and I now quote them with these new LPS amps

. I use to install the XLS series (except for the XLS5000

mdyo mahal kasi) and the QSC GX series. Personally, I use the XLS802 to drive my Tasso line arrays and the QSC GX5 for my floor monitors

It's a good thing Crown has come up with these new line of affordable amps.

XLS series

Finally nagpush through na yung isang project

Installed 4pcs JBL EON305 passive speaker system and 1pc Crown LPS2500. The LPS2500 is a winner! It matches well with the 305s

The EON305 is a 15-inch, two-way, passive, portable speaker system. It is a light weight loudspeaker system capable of full bandwidth reproduction at high levels. The EON315 is comprised of a 380 mm (15 in) JBL woofer, a 25.4 mm (1 in) neodymium high frequency compression driver coupled to a 100° H by 60° V waveguide. The system will handle 250 watts continuously and 1000 watts peak.

Php 45,980.00 pair at Audiophile branches

natry ko na din using the crown lps1500 to power a pair of jbl jrx112m front monitors on a jazz bar set-up. works perfectly. just an upgrade from an old konzert k8 amp that was previously installed there. the owner does not want to spend more than 15thou for this so this amp fits perfectly.

There are 3 variants of the Crown power amp LPS models:

LPS 800 Php 10980

LPS 1500 Php 12980

LPS 2500 Php 17480

Great for fixed installations and medium size gigs:-D

discounted na kaya yung price nito? pwede na ung lps 2500 pang mid... panimula

smarty · « **Reply #33 on:** April 01, 2010, 08:59:00 PM »

regarding dun sa 2 pairs per side na jrx115 @ 4 ohms config. hindi ba underpower yung lps1500 na amp?

250 + 250 (500 watts @ 4 ohms) as against 400 watts @ 4 ohms nung lps1500. tama ba computation ko pagpinagsama na yung dalawang speakers maging 500 watts?

mukhang underpower nga sa 4 ohms ang lps1500 kapag pinag-parallel ang 2 jrx115.

I think the LPS2500 may not be the right amp to match with your kappa pro 15 speaker.

yes sir it's underpowered at 4 ohms. it just so happened that the place is small and he does not have enough budget for the lps2500

Na-try namin i-c0mpare ang LPS2500 sa mga china brands sa Ra0n na rated at 700-800 watts/channel and mas 0k pa ang performance ng LPS2500 na rated lang at 550 watts/channel. Astig talagA pag Cr0wn!

This may work for a pair of IMF HP18 since they are not "hard to drive" woofers. I know the IMF has a single spider suspension design right?

Some of the installations where I installed the LPS2500 have Wharfedale 18" subs. Some even dual 15s. I guess for a "jazz" type mode of music, the LPS2500 can handle this type of bass requirement.

For a pair of Wharfedale 18 subs, I hooked mine at stereo mode only. It's not part of my original design actually. I do get a bigger amp for the lows like the Peavey PV3800. But if an owner insist for a budget of not more than 20k, like changing a previously installed amp, I resort to the LPS 2500.

Sir, indoors with limited capacity like a typical restobar. In my experience so far, the LPS2500 fits the budget for a "replacement" amp. Jazz, acoustic set-ups.
