the store i work at carries a good amount of alpine stuff and a while back we put an alpine plate amp in the showroom, and MAN, it is AMAZING, it's small, very powerful, very efficient and sounds amazing. We hooked up the 4 channel and compared it to the mcintosh mcc404 amp, which is more than double the size, and price, and also puts out 100w x 4 vs. alpines 150w x 4. And I highly recomend the alpine, some ppl from work said it sounds better than the mcintosh amp, but in my opinion being that the alpine retails for $750 vs. McIntosh for $1800-$2200, i would hands down choose the alpine pdx plate amp. So if you are in the market for new high end amps, i highly recomemd taking a look at them and see if you can find somewhere that has one hooked up so that you can hear it.
just my 2 cents, hope if helps someone
