Phoenix Gold Phorum

I only saw a couple of pics...are these class D or G/H or what?

I like small amps but so far they are off in sound department...what is PG going to do to make theirs better than all the other D amps

dont get me wrong ARC makes a great G/H amp.....

they are class D

Good questions.

S1000.1 is class D architecture that is very efficient, it packs serious power into a small package. Its a full size power supply, etc, laid out into a very tight space. Easy to say not easy to do. Most small amplifiers at this size make 300 to 400 watts, while we are making 1000 watts.

S400.4 is a class A/B amplifier. Again, input to output its a full blown amplifier with power supply/output carefully laid out into a small space. Fitting four channels of real amplifier power is not so easy, this is not a "chip IC" amplifier. There is also a temperature controlled fan in this model.

Here are pics for reference.

The feature set is complete with LPL, Variable crossovers, bass boost for rear channels and hi-level input with signal sensing turn-on.

S1000.1 vs. R1000.1:

they both sound perfect.....just what I need actually...

are there not going to be any 2 channels in the amp line ? all I saw was 4

holy crap thats a tiny amp!

and no - no 2 channel amps.

2 channel amps are virtually worthless since 4 channel amps bridge to 2 channel amps with more power. the only real advantage that 2 channel amps really ever had (IMO) is that some of them had smaller footprints than the 4 channel versions. That little s-series amp seems to have taken care of that though.

Thats just awesome.

you are right...I hardly see 2 channel amps that are as strong as a 4 channel bridged so space is usually the only downside till now

Guess I'm lazy but what are the dim's of the S-series amps? I know small but how small........

I think its like 9.5 x 9.5 or somewhere around there. Its under 10x10 for sure. I read it in the other thread somewhere. Nice!! I could run the whole system off that sucker.

S1000.1 : 9.1 x 6.9 x 2 inches
S400.4 : 9.8 x 6.9 x 2 inches

mmm, I want both
when will they be available?

April availability

Morgan, can we get some more specifics on the new TI line? Maybe some better pics and information on that line? Also availability? Maybe a new thread with info??

Bruther. I am working on that now. Look for something next week.
