After months of asking and looking on this forum, it comes down to these 4 amps.

1. ADS PQ 20.2 - 4 x 70 watts Used, still works great, I bought new 11 years ago - excellent condition

2. McIntosh MC 420 - 4 x 50 watts Used

3. Arc Audio 4050xxk - 4 x 50 watts New

4. Tru Technology T 4.65 - 4 x 65 watts New

The amp will be used to power 2 pairs of 6.5 " components. Would you elaborate some on your choice. Thanks to all.

Why 2 pairs of comps??? Front and rear??? or 2 up front???

As far as the amps are concerned: I guess it would depend on what you're paying for these other amps. If your a/d/s amp still sounds good to you then I would stay with that. If you're looking for a new (different) sound then I would go with the TRU amp. Never heard these amps but their reputation is highly recommended. The MAC and the ARC only offer 50 watts per channel and the TRU definitely adds a little to that. But if you don't play it very loud then it wouldn't matter.

If you can, audition them first. Your ears are what matters, not specs.
