Old ti1600.5 vs new ti21600.5

[OldSkool]

It looks like the PG website has been updated with the new ti series amps. Was wondering what everybody's thoughts were comparing these two amps. From the specs, there is a slight difference in output, size, and class. I realize the new version is not out yet for real world comparisons.

I like that the old version was a hybrid with triple Darlington output stage and sub channel offering slightly more output and stable to 1 ohm.

I like that the new version is very compact and offers higher power to the front and rear channels.

There is a HUGE difference in the size of the two amps. There is also a slight difference in the S/N ratio on paper, but if you can hear that difference you are superhuman. It's only 2 ohm stable, but you can adjust for that in system planning and isn't a huge deal. Really, the big test will come when someone installs one and we find out about heat dissipation. If the little one gets hot, it's going to have a hard time cooling down with such little surface area. That's the biggest question mark for me, not the sound or output.

this amps are shipping now? I would like to see a review somewhere

The new one is all class d so it does not need to be to super big.
