i have 2 ce2000's. one exploded when being plugged in at oasis one time. sparks flew out of it and everything. been meaning to get it fixed. might be willing to part with it cheap if you dont find anything better.
im sure you can find a used qcs 1450 or whatever on cragslist for less than $250.
Josh - thanks man, i appreciate the help.
Blue - yeah, the PA head sucks to carry around, and it isn't powerful enough for both of my speakers. If i get a powerful enough rack mount, those speakers will sound awesome.
