I thought a power amp was a power amp. I have used several power amps, like AB International and Crown (not the Ref. Macro they were selling us back in the 1990s) in a home setup and thought they could be used for music PA too. They work, but do sound "PAish" - kind of high noise level and not allot of detail like we are used to. I think the biggest difference is the speakers that are used for guitar -vs- recorded music.
Carvin does make a power amp (rack mount type) that they claim can be used for guitar or high end audiophile use.
FWIW, many head units do include a "line in", so i guess that is intended to hook a cd or tape deck to the amp?
