[QUOTE="3.5Max6spd, post: 2859557, member: 555373"] And i'd say the Arc is the better amp out of those. They are linear and clinical on the top end, with the best midbass/subbass impact I've enjoyed out of amp. Now the NEW LRx is another story. As they have gone the bipolar route with Sanken transistors, have great new design features and are actually close to par with the VRx (which isnt due for re-design until 2009). The new stuff from both these companies is comparable and higher grade. Its not so much which is better, but what you plan to do with it. The new LRX certainly has the form factor footprintwise advantage over the FD's and now have the following of which the FD's dont- -a BIG/beast of a 2ch a/b in the LRx2.9 (230 x 2 @4ohms, 960 x 1) - a staggered power 4ch in the LRx4.1k (120 x 2 +140 x 2, or 120 x 2 +500x 1 @4ohms) - a 5/6 ch solution in the LRx 6.9 [/QUOTE]
