[QUOTE="LaserRed38, post: 4000616, member: 582808"] I'm trying to sell my Audison, to pick up some PDX amps. It is a very nice, well made amp, but I just couldn't afford a matching 1.1k at the time. The dealer was going to hold it for me, and did, but someone else came up with the money faster. That's my fault, yes, but the new ones are black and won't match my blue one. BUT, now I need something with a smaller footprint, and I love the ability to stack the PDX's. As far as sound quality, now that I have lived with the Audison for 5 months, I just went back to my old Alpine MRV so I could sell the Audison, and honestly, with the exact same settings and Xover points, they both had a pretty unique sound. Some details stood out cleaner/louder/softer with both of them. Build quality, even though I have the LRx line, it is better than my Made in China Alpine MRV, but the PDX amps are built really well and I would say are on par with the LRx, and better than the SRx line. I can't speak for Zapco as I have never heard/used them, but they are very nicely built too...Again it goes back to recognition. Yes, there are many CA champions running around using Audison, Brax, McIntosh, Zapco, Focal, MB Quart, Rainbow, etc but to the average person, getting the job done with mid-level components can be achieved. Not really sure what you should take from all of this though haha. [/QUOTE]
