One of my Behringer EP2500 amps bit the dust after 10+ years of good service. I know the EP4000 is pretty much the direct replacement and the Digi-Key P14751-ND seems to be the best fan for the fan mod. Cost with fan is about $325. I would go ahead and get two of them... so figure $650 total.
Thinking about picking up the Dayton SA1000 instead... as it has the better look, no fan mod needed, no 1/4" adapter needed... and while not quite the same power, should be plenty for my Dayton Ultimax 18's... although they will cost a bit more at about $800.
Really to be fair about it... probably the EP2000 is more comparable in power to the SA1000... so it's really about $520 vs $800.
Anyone had any experience with the SA1000?
