Arc Audio or Phoneix Gold ??

[shoprman2 10+ year member]

Trying to decide between 2 brands of 4 ch amps. Arc Audio 4150 or .PHOENIX GOLD TI500.4 4. Which would be your pick if the price wasn't a concern?? Going to power 2 pairs of 6.5" components. Is the older Phoneix stuff better than the newer stuff??

I've heard of some reliability issues coming out of the Titanium series, I would go with the Tantrums if you want PG //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Just IMO, though.

i say Arc- xxk4150, or the cheaper, equally as impressive Kar 600.4

The xenon's have suffered from reliability issues as well from what i've seen

I would go with the tantrum. I have the tantrum 500.2 and it works well, no problems so far.
