Before purchasing the SPE 2K, I would first get reports from users 
concerning fan noise and QSK compatibility.  There are even more fans of the 
back of the 2K!

I would also want to know more about output power stability versus PA deck 
temperature.  OTOH, if the 2K measures anything like the 1K, IMD performance 
should be quite good for a solid-state amp.  Over time, many amp 
manufacturers have neglected the "linear" part of "linear amplifier," and 
purchases have largely been made based only on raw power.
