Arc Audio XXK And DLS Ultimate

If you have used or heard these two amps before please PM me your opionions and characteristics of these two amps. I am looking for Warm but very clear and dynamic sound. As a reference US Amps was not warm enough for me, and Zapco REF was too muddy and not as clear and dynamic as I would like.

Thanks!

I got $100 that says if you matched power you could not tell which was which //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif And another $100 if you can find a more beautiful amp than one from Ultimate line for less $$$.

if your ref was muddy, you have some setup issues.

Ditto.

I like ARC, AND DLS... but I think that DLS ultimates have a LOT more range to them. Although the 2500-xxk, is possibly my favorite sub amp.

I don't think you'd be able to tell a difference between the two. I couldn't.

If you can not hear a difference, then what do you mean by has more range in them?
