Converting to a new brand

Huh? They are the only thing I've ever heard ANY amp or speaker with!

Yes, but they often can't be trusted.

From RF's website describing 'EQ2':

Short Description:

Onboard equalizer with up to +18dB @ 35Hz and/or up to +12dB boost at 12kHz.

Long Description:

In the early 70's, Jim Fosgate studied the acoustical properties of automobiles. Utilizing a real-time analyzer and pink noise, he would graph out the acoustical characteristics of each car he tested. Jim discovered three problems that were common to all cars:

• A midbass hump between 100-275Hz
  
• A steep roll-off of high frequencies from 2kHz up to 20kHz
  
• Reduced bass response below 50Hz
  

The Punch EQ on-board equalization circuit helps correct for these acoustical deficiencies in the listening environment. When set to Low-Pass(LP) operation, it becomes a variable Bass Boost. When set to High-Pass (HP) operation, it acts as a variable Mid-Bass and Treble Boost. When set to All Pass (AP) operation, both Bass and Treble frequencies are boosted.

It would seem the newer models have the boost available from 0-18db... but IIRC older models had the boost set, and it was non-defeatable which is just plain silly IMO...

if you hear you amp, then somethign might be wrong.

Like Linear Power with the loosely wrapped transformers that squeal to the beat of the music or whatever test tone one happens to be playing through them?

I have some advice: quit thinking the brand name is so important. Sticking with one brand for 20 years? Acting like you need someone to hold your hand while you switch brands? Weird shit mang.

And, RF amps do not have some built in equalization that makes mids sound weird. Id like to see any evidence to the contrary. And no, your ears dont count as any form of proof what so ever.

Great review and this is exactly what I was getting at.
