Phoenix Gold Phorum

I used to own a few M50's and M100's I sold them few years back and now wondering what your favorites are?

I really like the ZPA , TI's,

Go GO GADGET M SERIES!!!!

M series......Simple, Simple, M series


did I say M series?

My gut says MS series....but my brain tells me ZX/Ti.....go figure. But I will probably end up with a new S series multichannel after CES

I would get a CAT scan STAT....

I have my fav and use it, ...... for now....
The ZPA's.

My new amp should be here tomorrow, but it'll be a few weeks before I can get the new amp installed. At that point the ZPA0.5 will have the caps replaced and then become wall art.

I would say that the ZPAs are my faves. But the M series to me are just beautiful.

No way! Ti FTW! Most versatile amps PG has ever made! Gobs of power in a small chassis! Mount anywhere at any angle!

ZPA with V.2 upgrade and PS MOSFIT hold down bar Modification.

I second that.

My reasoning:

M- simple, elegant, reference for all other mobile amps.
MS/MPS- gobs of powA, large footprint, simple looking w/beautiful guts, low maintenance.
Ti- small footprint, most flexible, clean power...but fans collect debris/dust.
ZPA- high voltage monster, medium size footprint, clean and powerful....but in warm regions regardless of fans they get hot which can cause the plexi viewing panel to bend upwards

All other PG series I can't include...so my fav would be MS/MPS which is why I went with them this time around.

ms series, super clean sound and very reliable (once the caps have been done ), the most sturdy construction too imo..

love them all really, running m's (outlaws) at the moment and the sq is very capable.

ZX, TI and Xenon for me , love the look, SQ and the crazy headroom.
Anyone that has a doubt to the quality, sq and power has easily been shut down after listening to my current system, and the next install (in the next 2 weeks) will be even stronger, louder and clearer. Just my .02c

MS here
BUT for coating amps, M series gear and hate stripping the MS stuff

BUT TBH think next install will be ridding of the MS gear and going with TI stuff.
As all my accessories are TI, but amps are MS... so if i run with TI amps next- then it will all match up nicely- especially if i can find a brushed steel pathfinder or armada

xenon line for me great powerhouses and ex sq thats what im running in my current build

M. Simple and still the reference for SQ.

But I still think the ZX450 is the best 4 channel ever made.

MS series... with the M as a close second only because of the heat that the M amps made compared to the MS and the mounting options with the MS were much better (again, heat and heat sink)

i have used only zx or ti in my own installs but think that ms amps with the plexi make for the coolest looking installs. showcasing an amps internals kicks ass IMO.

You and me both, and I know we're not alone on this.

I would and not to mention the ZX475 (I have both), killer amps, sq and power.

I also have a ZX450 and a 475...475 is BNIB

MS first for the best balance of sq reliability and listenablity, then the ZPA just to stomp the stove top stuffing out of the competition, and then the ZX for the ability to throw an amp in and have some tune's within a matter of minutes.

I didnt see you mention M series?

For me it's the M series.
