US amps IS vs Soundstream Tarantula

[JonJT 10+ year member]

d love to purchase some Merlin2 amps, but the 500+ price tag is turning me away.

I need 3 amps, a 2 channel for the midbasses, a 4 channel for the midranges and the horns and a third for the subs. Both lines have amps that can provide the power I need, I just want some subjective information about sound quality.

Soundstream TRA800.2

Soundstream TRA680.4

Soundstream TRA800.2 (or Soundstream PCA1000D)

US amps IS 2150

US amps IS 4065

US amps IS 2200 (or US amps IS 2150)

Those are the amp choices. The last amp in each grouping is the sub amp. I listed 2 because there are 2 amps that can provide the wattage I need. The monoblock bass amps and a bridged 2 channel amp.
