Peavey to Discontinue Some Crest Lines?
I heard about a week ago that Peavey was getting ready to close the former Crest New Jersey plant that built Pro Series X001 amps and at one time Century series consoles, including the LM and LMx monitor desks. Word is that those lines will not be replaced. That’s not such a bad thing, as they already have other models that perform better. I’ll take an X8 any day over a Century or LMx. I also heard that Peavey was going to significantly trim the Crest high end pro offerings, though I have not been able to confirm that either.
Word is if you have the original Pro Series amps and Century consoles, you better start stocking up on parts. Contact Peavey to see what the availability is but my source indicated that over the next few quarters parts for those discontinued lines will be difficult to find. If any Peavey/Crest people would like a chance to address/clarifiy what I heard, let me know.
