[QUOTE="Heath, post: 5629638, member: 606207"] Does anyone have any experience with the new Soundstream Reference Amps. The only place I have found selling these in onlinecarstereo.com. The specs, power and looks speak to sounstream steping back to the old days and seems impressive to me. Any thoughts? I am giving serious thought to buying the REF 2.370 but wanted some others opinions. I have traditionally been committed to JL audio and do not want to step down if the quality is not there.
