Soundstream Amps Question

[dave_damage 10+ year member]

You are mistaken........search for the writeup and explanation from the soundstream rep.
The 'New" reference line is being made to the same specs as the "original" reference amps. FYI.....the original reference amps were bullet proof and one of the best amps ever made //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

This is false. They new Refs have nothing at all to do with the old ones.

D towers and Stealth both look like good ****. PDX competitors are always nice in my book.

only some of the s and sx lines were bad and that was pretty much instantaneous. So if it powers on and stays on, then you got a good amp.
Didn't early rubicon models were made in Korea but they put a Made in USA sticker on it? lol

i think that has already been phased out

That was closer to the end that they started making the Rubicons in Korea.

ah, thats why they was cheap then and cant find em anywhere. I want to upgrade mine to the tarantula series. Do you know how good the D-towers are?

D-Towers are real nice. Im getting the 3400d when it comes out in Aug (I hope)

So they are soundstream. I was reading about them when I first saw them. It was a review. The where talking about the noise ratio being alot higher because of how the power and signal and speaker output are so close together. Have you tested them or know of any proof to that claim. I would consider those as well.

Yes, the last of the series 1 Rubicons were made in Korea. When Epsilon acquired SS and released the Rubicon II series they were all made in Korea.

You know those pics are of the new 2009 series right?

Not yet, I will be replacing my Rubicon 1002 with the 3400 and my RubiII 600-4 with the 500 watt 4 channel
