ALL New school amps are junk!

[dbrown 10+ year member]

Thats right I said it. ALL New school amps are junk! I've been hunting for a couple of SQ amps the past couple of days and the new stuff is pathetic. And where are the numbers? Often companies are not showing important shit like SN/R, Seperation, and Dampening Factors.

Don't get me wrong, you can get a

100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 JIZAWATT amp for like $25 bucks, but the SQ is trash.

And through my journey, I find that companies like xtant, PPI, Lazar, and Phoenix Gold are dropping crap now too.

Oh well, Im going to buy some old school stuff and I don't give a shit how much it costs me.

Some companies may not be what they used to be.

But, I wouldnt say that its hard to find.

A lot of them are crap. I've had a few old Kenwood amps and I love them. They're just indestructible (within reason of course lol) and sound good for the price. But I'm really hesitant with the new stuff. I wish I wasn't always wanting more power otherwise I'd never replace them.

Honestly, I prefer old school amps any day over the newer crap. They were built a whole lot better and did their rated power then some. I dont think there will ever be amps built like that again...

Zapco, Arc Audio, Rainbow, Soundstream, ADS, Zed Audio...etc...

and you couldn't find an SQ amp?

US Amps, Orion, Fultron, Audio Art, PPI, Linear Power were my favorites...

The only new amps I would consider buying are either still made in the US, or made in Europe like Rainbow, Audison, DLS, or Genesis.

My bad, but I think you hit it spot on.....

hmmand you couldn't find an SQ amp?

Didn't say I could not find one. I was mostly shocked at the companies I thought would have quality. Also I am trying to find bang for the buck, and ebay old school looks good to me. I don't compete so scratch and dent doesn't matter to me. As long as it puts out clean and powerful I would be happy.
