Can I use a sound reinforcement (PA) amp with guitar cabinets?
I have separate power- and pre- amplifiers, and frankly, I am getting a little annoyed at my current poweramp. My main complaint being that it is underpowered for my cabinet, and overpriced for replacement (it is starting to malfunction).
I also have a 350 watt (@ 8ohm) PA amplifier for monitors, that was cheap, and has worked reliably for 15 years.
As the poweramp for my guitar rig is solid-state, and does little to color the tone, is there any reason I cannot just use my Crown PA amp for my guitar rig?

No reason. The power amps mainly boost the sound coming from the pre-amps. So they can be swapped. Why you need 350 watts for foldback is a question, unless you're playing 1,000+ venues or out in the open. Why haven't you just tried the idea?
