[QUOTE="3.5Max6spd, post: 634738, member: 555373"] Since late '02(i believe) they appeared at CES, and they main concern is the heatsink, for a class a/b putting out 1600rms(drawing over 2000 since a/b are between 35-70%efficiency range) that amps heatsink is not up to par -thats the general concensus, along with the power supply crunched up on one side- alot of heat to dissipate, with a design that doesn't support it "I'd be a little cautious...Power Acoustic now owns Soundstream. I saw a test of one of the newer SS amps in a magazine. Can't remember the exact model, but it didn't meet it's power ratings." Chadillac3 @ ECA "i question the ability of that amp to do its rated power for long... look at the heat sink... 1600 watts on that lil heat sink?...very questionable... no fan either." Dingaling @ ECA More here...
