The QSC GX5 700-watt power amp sports your speakers the power they need while giving you the efficiency and protective features you want for really simple operation and peace of mind. The GX5 uses cutting-edge parts for both light weight and reliability. Its Guardrail protection allows delivery of peak power while preventing overloads. It's equipped with a crossover switch, so adding a subwoofer to your rig is a snap. Optimized for 4- and 8-ohm speakers, this amp also fits perfectly into popular racks, and its lightweight design (less than 30 lbs.) makes the GX5 incredibly really simple to transport.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Clean quiet power
I bought the QSC GX5 stereo amplifier for use in my band's practice studio. We previously used a Mackie mixer/amp setup and we recently bought an Allen & Heath mixer along with the QSC Amp. We've gone from a little noisy system to an absolutely silent (no hiss, no noise) system even when turned all the way up. It's nice! We A/B'd the amps and while the Mackie is rated to have more power, the QSC is clearly punchier and so much cleaner. I can't say enough about how nice this amp is. I've owned Crown, Crest and Yamaha amps as well and none of them were cleaner than this one.
As for durability, it's still new BUT QSC is offering a 6 year warranty for free on this model (until March 09) so I can't imagine they would do this if these amps were a service problem.
Oh and it looks great in my rack. I read somewhere that the amp is noisy when the cooling fans get going. Knowing this, I cranked the amp full and ran a punchy CD through the mixer full blast (no distortion!)...

Easiest buying decision I have ever made
Getting this amplifier was the easiest buying decision I have ever made.
Like most of my technological and sound equipment, I bought this amplifier online basing my decision upon users' reviews. That was about two and a half years ago. There were enough reviews at the time to have a good idea about what to expect from this amplifier. Contrary to most items for which you can find online reviews, the QSC GX5 reviews were all about satisfied customers. There was not a single negative or neutral review about this item. That made the decision about which amplifier to get, very easy. The QSC GX5 was the way to go and it has performed just as it was expected, ever since I got it.
This amplifier produces a very clean and pleasant sound through two EV Eliminator I speakers (350W continuous, 700W program, 1400W peak for each speaker) coming from a PEAVEY PV14 mixer and an ART EQ-355 equalizer. I can not compare it to other options, because I have not had any...
Does what is suppose to do
Needed something to power my two polk rti12's and this works just fine. Easy to set up with a receiver's pre-amps. I only wish it was able to be turned on with a remote as you have to push the switch every time. There is a bit of noise from the unit however it isn't super loud. I have it in a cabinet that I can close and even then during quite dialog scenes you can still hear it, but it isn't as bad as not having it in a cabinet. Maybe I'll find something down the road that will be quieter, but hey it does work well.
