[QUOTE="dB-r, post: 6188810, member: 574699"] Not that I remember. I think more along the lines of the SAZ-3000D. I could be wrong, been a while since I looked at the inside of the AQ. The new IA 20.1 may well be as strong as the old one. The amp has changed ALOT inside, I have 1 of the newer IA 20.1's here, but it's a parts amp, it got damaged really bad, so it's non-working, just for parts, but I did work on 1 other new IA 20.1 and they did squeeze alot of guts in a small case. I think the new one has a few less outputs (same parts BTW) than the old one, but the new one may have a little more power supply fets so it may be about the same power at lower impedance, but may be less than the old IA 20.1 at 2 ohms and up. Really hard to say without clamping BOTH of them in the same setup, but judging just by the parts inside I would say the old one would be stronger, but it was MUCH larger and heavier. It's amazing how they fit all that stuff into the new 20.1, it's tiny. Next time I get one in here I will clamp it. If that ever happens, been waiting months since the last ones came in here, none others have given out or had problems, so yeah, it may be pretty bulletproof, but need more time really to tell that, it's only been a little while since they started shipping if I remember right.
