Hi, Freddy -I quickly read a review of the QSC amp - looks like a dual voltage supply. It might be ok SQ-wise for a bass only amp, but I would check out ahead of time in showroom whether the fan noise might be too high for a listening environment.
I once rented a Crown 2400 from a pro shop for a few days to evaluate it as a possible bass driver - sound was good for SS, but the fan noise was just too much for use in the same room w/the speakers, so I dropped that idea.
Since then, I got a 'green' Crown K2 for HT SW use - I wouldn't recommend it for a full range amp or for a high end system because it goes into 'sleep' mode under 'no signal' conditions & apparently has an audible delay when 'waking up', but for HT SW power, I figured, what the hey, it gets the most out of a 15A circuit & is well-behaved otherwise.
However, the Hafler 500 sounds like it has potential to me for more high quality applications requiring power. When I tested one channel into a 3-4 ohm load, I was hitting about 60V RMS at clipping, plus it has a pretty good reputation SQ wise for a SS amp. OTOH, DJK has criticized the 500 for 'mushy' bass in pro sound applications.
