Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I bought my GX3, took it out of the box, lots of choices for your preference of speaker hook-up. I hooked mine up to two Kustom speakers and "Barely" turned the dial on the Amp....and Wow! is that sound loud and clear. Neddless to say I am very satisfied.......well I guess I would be a little more happy if it came with rack screws....
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I went to get a Crown amp for my drum monitors and they were in the process of changing over models. I tried this amp and am really impressed. Nice, powerful, clean, clear and with a great price. Would buy this product again and recommend it to new buyers on a budget.
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
The Gx3 is a true value. Performance exceeds by a 1000% the cost range of this bass pounding with extreme clarity in all sonic ranges 2 rack space adrenalin fueled amp. Get It! I am getting more of them. Best amp find in years.
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I purchased this amp used. I was very surprised at all the options for both inputs and outputs. I was happy to find there was a built in cross over function at 100hz. It fits in a shallow case so need for a large case. It does not weigh much and takes a beating. I used it outside a couple of times when it was over 100 degrees. I was eveing running it at clip for hours and it did not back down. The fan is loud under that condition but what do you expect under conditions like that. I am looking at another for my monitors!
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I bought this is a temporary fix to bi-amplify my Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers, which are brutally revealing. I must tell everyone who's reading this, ............for professional or home amplification YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!!!!!!!!!!! This amp can hang or smash some of the best in the home audio category, and personally I don't know how they did it other than sound, sincere engineering. QSC you have a customer for life, you pulled off something no one has done in maybe 20 years!
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I bought this amp yesterday because my current Peavey PV 500 stopped working. I cannot believe how powerful and clear this amp sounds! Im running two MTX TP1200's for speakers and this Amp makes a great combo!
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
it is powerful for my bose 301 bookshelf, it makes my bose sounds good. it is perfectly for KARAOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks QSC for making a good product !!!!!!!!!!!
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I'm fairly new to quality dj equipment. I've been toying around, off and on for the last 20 years or more . I mean, nothing really serious or even close to it. I've been just a fan of great sounding equipment and the different djs I've meet or partied to, out at weddings, parties, and clubs. I bought some really inexpensive junk and thought that it would be just as good as anything out there based on my use. BIG mistake, I just got back into it, after a couple years in the basement, and let me tell you this, if you don't have a lot of coin to spare , this system kicks butt. Whatever you do,(to each his own) don't waste your hard earned money and time with the cheap stuff ever. You will be very disappointed when you hear this thing. My wife has a very critical ear, and when I had the cheap junk, she knew it right away. She complained all the time. But today when I bought this thing home and had trouble lifting it, she knew this wasn't that cheap junk, I had before. Anyway long story short, it's clean,clear, and crisp at low volume, and makes our collection sound like it never has before. It's amazing for the price, it's a steal! Make your old songs sound new again...
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I have been using QSC amps for more than 25 years. I started to purchase powered cabinets, but needed that raw power and warmth. I have used this GX-3 about 10 times, indoor, outdoor with audiences up to 500. More than enough for my mobile DJ sets. Has not failed me once. I knew once I set the levels, I would not have to check until the end of the gig. Everyone compliments me on my sound and I owe it all to QSC and of course GC.

Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I had enough Powered Speakers with Class D amps. I could start a graveyard. This thing is real! It is replacing an almost 30 year-old QSC 1400 that will end up in my studio. I will use with a pair of Bose 802s on my keyboard rig. This has plenty of headroom! I wanted small and low powered and ended up with a MONSTER. Thanks GC……
Comments about GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
Purchased this item after reading reviews and it did not disappoint. Sounds clear and plenty of power for our use of a monitor amp. Also plenty of hookup options.
Comments about GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
So far this Amp has been great. Has plenty of power and is very clear. Not too heavy either which is nice when humping around a rack.
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
very good it so powerfull
Comments about QSC GX3 Stereo Power Amplifier:
I wanted a rackmount amp for my home studio and bought the GX3. I don't need as much power as the GX3 provides but I like the amp. I was really impressed by the sound quality and the solid construction. What I really like is the volume controls with the detent switches. This provides easy balancing the of the two output channels. I was also concerned about the fan noise but it's really not noticeable during playback. I also like the assortment of connections on the back panel.
