PG Xenon X200.2 vs. MQ Quart RAA2400

[BodegaBay 10+ year member]

Both put out the same power with street prices comparable to one another. Both have decent specs and I've read good things about each individually.

Is there one reason or another to choose either one?

I'd go with MB Quart as well. Heard a system with that amp, it sounded real good. Haven't heard a xenon though.

the MBQ's are supposed to be fairly close to the RF Powers,

 

I would love either, but would take the MBQ in this case I think

THe raa2400 is a great amp...I have owned 3 of them (don't ask) and for the price, it simply can not be beat IMO. I have not heard the Xenon. Either would be good choices it just depends what you are looking for the amp to do for you. So I will ask you, what do you want to do for you??? and where do you intend to buy either???

Thanks Fox. I'm trying different amps before finalizing anything. I'm running DLS Ir 6.2 upfront (passive), DLS Ref 964 rearfill, and an IDQ 10in DVC sub; the DLS Iridiums might go for something with more midbass up front. I'll EQ and cross everything from my Eclipse HU so onboard amp x-overs are not required. Ideally I want a 5-ch config (4-ch + 2-ch bridged). However, Cructhfield only has the 2-ch avail so I would have to buy 3 amps -- yikes.

Both of these amps are very affordable now through SD and Crutchfield. They both outuput the same power and have equal flexibility. Since I've never listened to either brand, I was just curious their sonic signature.

Due to the retailers good return policies, I bought both units to demo. I previously owned JL Slash Series but was looking for a change.
