Alpine mrv f540 VS Zapco Ref 360.4

[Andrewl]

Hi everyone, my name is Andrew and i am new here first i would like to know what people would recommended me one of these amp for my front stage *Boston Pro6.5* I want good SQ and durable amp. i have been using afew alpine before love them. but i could decide which one is better in SQ and also alpine nowaday quality not bad but I heard afew ppl blown up those amps easily. While zapco is oldschool, heard they good, American made and very low THD 0.3% vs alpine 1%-> 3%THD Also Audison Srx2S series that i'd like to include. Alpine Mrv F540 /F545 new series Zapco Ref 360.4 Audison SRx2s which one would be a better amp out of those PS: i dont need any fancy or flashy. i want SQ and nice sound, dont mind with price

Thanks

The Zapco is an extremely well built, super clean amp-but expensive. The alpine amp is quality, but not as clean, but more affordable. If you have the dough get the zapco they rock. If budget is an issue, the alpine would be a decent choice.

i would say zapco. haven't had good success with alpine amps. if you are looking for nice amp there is a PG ti500.4 for sale in the classifieds. very nice amp. used it to power my boston pros. (i am not selling it, but the person i sold it too is)

if u can get the zapco cheaper then the alpine i'd get the zapco no doubt about it, actually either way i would probably go zapco

Definitley the zapco if it's cheaper. Easiest choice in your whole system right there.

On reputation alone I would go with Zapco.
