Phoenix Gold Phorum

Gents,

For the past year, we have been hard at work on an extremely high performance amplifier line.

We will be releasing a new High End amplifier line at CES.

Line contains three models. MSRP is $1200 and up.

Build, conservative power ratings and sonic quality that rivals (and surpasses IMHO) ZPA.

More details to come, enjoy...

glad to hear pg is again into that area again....

I better hurry up and finish my install before I start to think about switching lines/amps then as it sounds like it would be pretty pricey to have the 4 amps I am going to run....

Just when you want to upgrade they come out with higher end gear what to do? hmmmm.

Nice

Awe crap! Something I might be willing to sell my Audison for????

They better be good.......

Can't wait.






Can we get some pics, say..... like a day before CES??????????

Epic news . This is what everyone has been waiting for!

So stoked... I might have to offload my Ti900.7 and 1200.1 just to afford ONE... stupid deflated resale values

i will happily audition them for you

Morgan, can you give us power ratings for each of the three new models?

hi morgan, maybe its possible to have individual gain pots for each channel to enable best level matching between channels. that would be very yummy!

I'm listening.

I will post another more complete update of specs of new amp models just after Turkey Day.

They are on the bench now, for the record, we are going extra conservative with power ratings.

sounds good. When are the planned release of these out of curiosity? I know its probably early and there is still alot to work out, just wondering if I will win my disabilty case by then and actually have some cash...

oh man...were are going back to the good old days.

I hope these work out better than the remake of Soundstreams Human Reign amps which were actualy awesome but too expensive and they gave them away at a huge loss in the end...talking about the ones that came out couple years ago or so.

I hope this works out

Update:

Two Important things about these amps:

1. These amps are CONSERVATIVELY rated. For example, Elite.1 is rated at 3200w at 1 ohm, it just did 3900w on the bench at 1% THD. Each amp comes with a birth certificate.

2. Power numbers are important but our goal here is also sound quality. The electrical design and components (huge sanken Devices, burr brown op amps, monolithic caps, etc) are key.

When can we get pic,s of the amps.... And when can we buy ...

will the crossovers have a bandpass option like on the xenon amps ?

Yes, and they go up from 40Hz to 4kHz so you can run a fully active system with tweeters or midbasses.

Morgan

what model of burr brown are you using?
