Like the title states. I have been looking for a 4150-XXK for quite some time now and it is geting down to the point where I need it within the next week, week and a half. So I found a good deal on a Helix H400. I know Helix is made by Brax and everyone always places Helix, Brax, Arc, Zapco, Tru, Mcintosh, Sinfoni, etc. all in the same category. However I was on Helix's site and they have a bunch of different models so I was wondering if the Esprit Series (H400) is comprable to Arc's XXK series.

Thanks for the help

if they compare in power, i'd say sure.... the xxk shows more rated power tho, a real life test shows it does a clean ~100rms down to 12.5v and some of the other #'s are more appealing.

Deciding at this level which amp is better is not so wise, just go with the one that appeals most to you. The only thing that can separate one from the other performancewise is real world power and reliability. Unfortunatly i dont know much about thos Brax amps, not very common.

 
Yea, I would like to get a 4150, however I cant seem to find one for a reasonable price. That is why I decided to look around for the other "high end names" in amps. I had one lined up, but the seller decided not to sell it, and I had ended up passing on another one becuase of that previously mentioned seller. So now it is getting to the point where i NEED the amp soon. This is why I started looking around.

Manny, what other amps would you consider comprable to the 4150-XXK that I could look around for?

Thanks

Would you be interested in a gunmetal Arc CXL4150? I have a buddy selling one, good price. If so pm me.

Anything comparable, high end anyways, will also be comparable in price unfortunatly.

Have you been looking in the F/s section at ECA? There are some nice, short used condition stuff there.

YGPM :veryhapp:I would definately be intrested in a 4150-CXL

I do search on ECA everyday, it wont let me post there for some reason, but I just read through the FS forum and email people if I am intrested in thier stuff.
