My Local dealer said that they didn't have the EP4000 in stock, He recommend the EPX because it provided more power at less weight? Is this this true i only found bench tests on the ep4000 not the EPX4000.

it provides less power than stated, all their figures are made up. Avoid.

If i had a gun held to my head and had to choose i'd go the EP4000, i've used both the EP4000 and the EPX2800 and found the EP4000 to be generally better - better build quality and a slightly better sound. Also at 4ohm RMS 2 channels driven the EP4000 does 950w per channel vs 870w for the EPX4000. However i'd be looking at different amps all together: Crown XLS or QSC GX series are both quite good and in a similar budget. What speakers are you looking to power?

QSC GX5. Great solid amp from a company famous for their amplifiers + 6 year warranty!

Yorkville also has a new value amplifier line called the PX series. The first model, the 1700, can be purchased for around 350$. 2 year ''even if you break it'' transferable warranty.

Thank you. I dont think they sell yorkville in my area.

You may also want to look into Peavey's IPR series of amplifiers. Good performance, terrific price and ULTRA low weight. These amps seriously weigh next to nothing.

QSC, Yorkville and Peavey amps will generally deliver their rated specs. They are not the inflated specs you will find on Technical PRo, Pyramid, Pyle Pro, Seismic Audio etc.. products.
