Great amps. Some of the best sounding class D you can get. Have you done a search on them? There's lots of info out there.

Why? And I think you'll quote sonic differences, but have you heard a Zed in comparison to an AB amp of the same power on the same speakers?

I have not either, though from everything I have heard, there is a very tough time deciphering sonic differences in amps of this caliber. The rest of your system needs to be on the same level, as in ALL components, to really hear anything.

We could all tell on the high highs at high power.

That's what West said as well actually. He said it was pretty subtle though IIRC. Although IIRC he was comparing them to McIntosh's lol.

It was. A friend is a big JL dealer in town, we tried them in a few setups. He don't like them either but he loves to install them cause they are so simple. Really a plug and play amp

Nice collection. I will have to listen to my Deuce/BB and Draconia-II back to back to see if I can pick anything up.
