Watts

Post by GStilson »

I was wondering if Phoenix Gold products are CEA certified with all of their ratings. I have always been a huge fan of Phoenix Gold and was looking toe get some new speakers but its hard to compare rating when I do not know if Phoenix Gold ratings are accurate or certified by CEA. Yes I will most likely end up going with some new Phoenix Golds but I am a man who likes comparing all of my options and it would make things a lot easier if I could compare them knowing that these ratings are accurate. Thanks!

I'm not sure if they are CEA certifies but they tend to be inaccurate but on the low side. Lots of people have tested PG amps independently from manufacturer claims and have come up with much higher numbers. Check out this forum, lots of testing has been done.
A few of these and a few of those.

My manuals for the elites show both ratings. Not sure about the other lines though.
And I can say for sure that the elites are not rated peak. And are defiantly under rated.

Yes but you look up the web site it only show peak until you look up the Manuel there was a large amount of member pissed off about the ti1500 as it will never do 1500rms
Not what pg fans have been used to now they rate just like clarion sony pioneer :( .
