sunn concert slave power amp

[tmead]

Just came across one at a pawn shop.  It seems to be in working condition.  I do samples and sequencing in a heavy band, and am looking for a good power amp to push the stuff I do.  I've always been a fan of the Sunn stuff I've come into contact with, but I've never used any myself.

The shop is asking $195 for it.  What do you think?  It says it is 400W.

Is this a good deal?  Would this push enough juice to keep up with a 5 piece heavy band if used with 2 2X15 cabinets?

Any help is appreciated.

The concert series is rated at 150watts RMS

The back panel near the power switch says 400 Watts.  Why is that?

[JoeArthur]

The 400 watts is the amount of wall socket AC power that it consumes to produce that 150 watts RMS output to the speaker.  "Guest" is correct.

If you haven't bought that Concert Slave yet, you might want to look around for a better deal. I picked up a Concert Slave for $75 at a music store near Washington, D.C., a few months ago. Despite the rave reviews in this forum, there isn't a big market for Concert Slaves, so if you're lucky you can get it for a song.
