New Phoenix Gold Radial line

Did anyone else notice that PG replaced the Xenon line with a new one? I just found out now, check it out:

I'm a little annoyed that they went away from that same power at 1-4 ohms philosophy. I thought it was cool and gave JL some competition. Not only that but the amps are looking progressively worse IMO.

I had the pleasure of playing with one of the older Titanium 800.1 amps today and man is that thing awesome. It looks sexy, puts out insane clean A/B power, and has 24/db crossovers. Why can't they make amps like that anymore? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

yes we all knew about these hideous amplifiers.

why somone would buy somethign as ugly as that is beyond me. prolly are good amplfifiers, but they give me the heebyjeebies to look at.

I'd like to see them go way back to the days of the ms1000. I liked those plain jane heat sinks a lot better than the newer offerings //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

They do look like something different, but I value sound over looks... As told form errin from pg the rsds are supposed to be superior to the xenons/ titaniums...

yea that would be nice, but the market has changed... Now the new ryval amps pg has coming out looks pretty nice and plain.. They will be entry level though:crap:

i've known for a while they did away with the xenon line. first it was the TI line, then the tantrums, then the xenons, now the radials.

(thats as far back as i can remember mind you).

i say bring back the ti/tantrum lines. those are some badass lil buggers.

Well, from what I've heard they must be good to wash away the problems they had with the Xenons.

Does anyone know if these amps, specifically the rsd600.1, are as underrated as the xenon series ( 600.1)?

Not sure on the power, but I wouldnt be hesitant to buy. Everyone I hear talk about these amps keeps goin on about how better it is than the xenons. These amps were designed by the original engineer of the pg ms amps If that tells you something

That's what you call coffin nails boys. PG is like hanging on by threads. Actually for $600,000 in cash, you can buy the company. No shit: http://portland.bizjournals.com/portland/stories/2006/06/05/story6.html?page=1
