[QUOTE="DarkScorpion, post: 6744061, member: 618537"] Technically speaking, you [I]shouldn't[/I] hear a difference between amps that are putting out the same amount of power. An amp should do only that - amplify the signal. However, as we all know, this is not an actuality since variabilities in amp construction and components is, for the most part, huge between different amps. Of all the amps you listed though, I SERIOUSLY doubt you'll be able to tell a difference in sound quality since they all put out similar power, and you're not exactly dabbling in extremely high end gear. You'd really have to sit down in a closed room and do an A-B comparison in order to tell if one [I]sounds [/I] different, or rather, if one colors the sound differently. There's currently a huge thread over at DIYMA debating the perception of audible differences between amps and such. My take on it is that, induced noise aside, if two amps put out the same power, they will sound the same - but that's just me. Of the choices you listed, I'd simply go with what fits your budget best. The 720prs's don't need much power to sound good, but they take to power very well; more specifically, the midwoofers are VERY stoutly built and can take a good amount of power. The MB Quart Discus amps are very popular right now since they're cheap, their internals are very beefy, and they put out rated power. I'd consider picking up the DSC4125 instead of the DSC2150. That way, you can run your 720prs's actively with an external crossover since the consensus is that the passive crossovers included are the weak link and the set sounds that much better without them.
