[QUOTE="timmyjimmy5150, post: 1835528, member: 565868"] Well.... I'd like to upgrade my amp....Let me explain what all I have.... Currently I have a JL 450/4 amp --- it pushes 2 Focal K2P 6.5 components in the front and 2 Focal Utopia 5.25 components in the rear. I also have a JL 250/1 pushing 1 JL sub for a little bass.... The 250/1 is fine for me... I'm not a big bass guy and the little fill from the single sub I'm happy with. So -- on to the main amp..... The 450/4 is okay I guess.... The front stage is 150X2 and the rear is 75X2 ---- I'd like a little more from the rear stage to really wake those Utopias up....... Here's the dilema --- I've had my eye on a McIntosh Mcc404 (4 channel X 100).... Is this really going to be an improvement over the JL? It would help the rear stage power but decrease the front --- or would it? Is there something better out there to upgrade to? With selling my JL 450/4 I'll have $1000 to spend ---- OR just stick with the setup I have? Thanks for any advice... tj [/QUOTE]
