Yep, that's a pro amp all right, if you have a band and want to play in large places. I wouldn't give it much creedence as a stereo component. A friend of mine a long time ago had such a setup, (A Peavey in fact). Sounded like a guitar amp (all mid-range, no bass, no soundstage), and that is what I would expect from this amp in a home stereo system. Did have a lot of power though.
