[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8519159, member: 614752"] OK, if you have electrical to run 8K. Just throwing it out there. A friend of mine local uses Ampere amps and hasn't had any complaints. Those Far East amps are all pretty much the same. They're a rather old class D circuit with only slight variations in layout and components. For practical purposes the only thing that'll set them apart is which company will be around to stand behind them. The big boys like Sundown, Incriminator, or DD are a much more certain bet. Every year there's as many of the new brands disappear as come along. Not saying Ampere is good or bad, but if they get a half a million dollars worth of dud amps from their Korean sweatshop they're sunk. A bigger company would have the clout to either make the buildhouse make good or be able to absorb the loss. Problems with being burned by Asian factories are somewhat common. The Brazilians at least manufacture themselves and for the most part you know what you're getting. I've had good luck with them but IMO any amp over 5K size should be considered a time bomb.
