ya well i might have to wait to get a new one since i think ia is out of stock of the 40.1s, and the rd would be a used one, and im looking into the a few used 40.1s.

i dont know much about the rd but i have used the ia amps and they are always great amps

there are a few guys with the v1 40.1s over on caco but they want 800 plus shipping for them which i think is way to much for the v1.

i would say thats a bit much the crescendo bc3500 is 679 at ssaudio.com/store and its been reviewed as a good amp. and is rated for 3875 at 1ohm and 14v and it can be run at 18v if u would want

ya i would think a fair price for the 40.1 v1 would be 600-650 shipped. i love the looks of the crescendos, that orange and black is smexy. the rd does 5400 or 5600 at .7 and my warden is dual 1.4 so it would be perfect. but ya im looking for something in the 4.5k to 5.5k zone

BC5500D

well the 5500 from crescendo is right under a grand idk what your budget is. i might would look for a used m4a it will put out the power u want and handle low voltage better than most amps

BC5500D

i am kinda set on the rd or the ia but i will probably consider the bc5500.

 

[splwj47 10+ year member]

if my dc 2k sells anytime soon then my budget right now would be 700. but ya i would like to keep it under a grand. if i spend a grand it has to be new. i was thinking about a m3a/ m4a also, was gonna grab one of thos new m3as that guy on here was selling but everyone else beat me to it.
