Quick Question (phx gold / orion)

[Dunerider5 10+ year member]

Buying an amp for my slc265's... was going to get the orion 8002 for about $210 shipped, but I came across a phoenix gold xenon x200.2 for $178 shipped, and it seems like a really good deal.

Is there any reason I shouldn't get the xenon?

No opinions out there? Cant anyone assure me whether or not its a good amp for my slc's?

*I* would buy the PG over any of the newer Orions. Take that for what you think its worth.

The only Xenon amps that i have seen ever having issues were the 1200.1 and the 400.1, and that was just enough incidents to be noticed.

I'd say go with the Xenon line for wiring abilities and overbuilt internals. 1,2, and 4 ohm stable at around the same RMS. Naturally most efficient wired at 4 ohm. They are a good price for what you get.
