Great Amplifier For Music Syst

Superb amplifier and music system has been updated big time.

The power and the glory.

I bought a pair of these XLi 3500s in December 2017 to power a pair of JBL VRX918S subs. They are running bridged and at 8 ohms are pushing 2700 watts per sub. Using a 3 way electronic crossover so the subs are in stereo. It takes 3 amplifiers per channel, the way I have them set up. These are amazing. Words cannot describe how well they blend with the JBL 15s and the high speakers. Channel 1 gain is usually between a quarter to a hair under half way up. Some songs have heavier bass than others. These amps never disappoint.

Great for the price

If your looking for a high powered amp that is very well made and sounds great consider the XLI-3500. It has the power to be used as a main amp in any smaller venue.

Do you hear the fans when all is quiet?

Do you hear the fans when all is quiet?
Asked by: Dennis
On the XLi series amplifiers the fans do operate when the unit is idle. They may even increase in speed once the unit reaches a specific operating temperature. I generally recommend the amplifiers be housed in a closed rack enclosure to mitigate fan noise if the unit is going to be housed in the listening space.
