I think they are the same, except for the obvious silk screening and circuit board has different printing on it (behind the right window)...one says "Zeropoint" and the other says "titanium" or something like that.

I may be totally talking out of my ass though :)

Yep... the ZXti and Ti are one and the same. The ZX however is quite different...

OK, so if I get this right, they're the same, only different, correct? :evil: :evil: :evil:

Gentlejax is talking about Ti's while Stipud is talking about the Ti and the white/black ZX line.

The White ZX and the ZXti titanium are totally different.

The titanium line is pretty much the same - early days to the most current, but they messed around with their model names/numbers to differentiate between the early Ti's (late 90's) and the latter versions (whenever it was discontinued).
It might be an updated series...but I don't know.
ZX475ti = ZX500.4ti

I see so if it says TI on it or in the model # then it is basically the same...

the ZX is totally different than the "ZX TI"

but otherwise all TI are the same just slight name changes and years produced...

Ok ,, got it.....

don't mean to bring up an old topic but I was reading up on the ZX, ZXti line and found that both the ZXti and ZX amp's power are rated at

13.8V

ie. the zx450 makes:

4 ohm stereo @ 12/13.8 VDC 18/75 WRMS x 4

while the comparable TI line 500.4 does:

4 ohm stereo @ 14.4 Vdc 75 WRMS x 4


So that would mean the zx and zxti series were more powerful, as they have unregulated power supplies and giving them 14.4V would increase their output. While the Ti's would give less output as the voltage fell below 14.4 V.

Am I correct? Since most people here are saying that they have the same specs etc.

What I would also like to know is what exactly are the differences between the zx and zxti lineup? I know the zx series are better than the TI's, but are they the same as the zxti's (besides cosmetically)?

the zx line is different form thr zxti's and ti line and the zxti's and ti's are basically the same except cosmetic .
and the zxti's and ti's look exactly alike except the silk screnning.
