[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8538344, member: 540940"] Sarcasm aside... I had the original Vibe 430 for a few years. Not a bad amp. Fairly powerful. It was slightly over-rated at 125x4. The 432's a lot like it. The photos on Vminnovations show it still having a pair of 30's like the 430. I guess there's some difference with the 432/432n, I never figured out what the N is supposed to mean. Generally, I think if they still gave it a reasonable rating I think a lot of people would consider it a decent budget amp. Vminnovations is selling for $105. If it's even 80x4 that's a good buy, but 500x4 is just so ridiculous nobody's buying them. For ~$100 and realistic expectations it probably is a serviceable budget amp, but those ratings just give the whole line a chinese junk feel and I'd prefer something that at least makes an attempt at reality.
