I had ordered a Q1.1500D from Sonic to match my Q 4 channel. Turns out it'll be on backorder forever with them so I can either wait, get a refund, or get an upgrade. They haven't discussed how far they will upgrade but if needed and worth it, I'm willing to toss in a few extra bucks. One that caught my eye was the Massive N3. Specs are similar. Dimensions are obviously different. I'm wondering if the Massive is really a few notches up the ladder or not. If not, I'll just get a refund and find the Q elsewhere. If so, I'll consider spending a bit more on the N3, sell my 4 channel and find a Massive amp for my speakers.
Main concerns.
How much do they differ in power? Which amp is cleaner and how much cleaner? In order words, which of these 2 would you run, keeping in mind that an amp from the same series will be powering what you hope to be a really clean front stage.
MB Quart Q1.1500D (Q11500D) 1500W RMS, Q-Series Monoblock Amp
Massive Audio N3 Nano Monoblock 2800W Max Amplifier
Thanks.
