So, now I need some amplification... does the DriveRack PA+ come with amps?
If not, any suggestions for amps... I like it loud and I can always turn it down.
I got Behringer B212XL speakers which I think are rated at 850 watts, so let me know what you guys think would be a good amp to drive these.

The Driverack is just a speaker processor. Unless you are running subs, it really doesn't give full potential, but you can still have some advantages like the feedback eliminator, built in eq, built in system compression/limiting (no this does not replace the compressor for the vocals) and a couple other things. If has no amp built in.
As far as what kind of amp your speakers need, typically the rule of thumb is match the wattage to the program power (usually middle of continuous and peak). This speaker is 200 watts continuous and 800 watts peak, so the ideal amp should push around 400 watts per channel into 8 ohms. I don't normally recommend Behringer but this one has had some decent reviews from other forums and is a perfect match wattage wise for your speakers.
