Phoenix Gold Phorum

A few pics I snapped of the new gear while visiting the AAMP booth. Sorry for the pic quality, an iphone had to fill in for the Nikon that didn't make it to the show! Didn't get a chance to chat with Morgan or quality seat time in the Elite Cayenne, but that's a good thing for PG! They were pretty busy the few times I came by throughout the afternoon.

Didn't post much of the amps, as Morgan has much higher quality images already posted in the Elite sneak peak thread.

Wow, thanks for the pics! I'm really digging the looks of the new equipment.

Oooh! LPL with clip lights ??? Or is that just bass boost ?

The new gear looks freaking nice! Interested to know how the new Elite components sound for sure...

Its a special version of "LPL" that comes with every Elite amp.

Yes it has clipping indicators on the remote.

No it cant be modded to work with normal amps that have the LPL port.

That's genius! I love using my LPL to bump the gains when the bass recording level or volume is low, but I have no clipping reference other than my ears. I've been wondering why people haven't done this for years!

It's physically impossible, sadly. Well, without scratch building some new parts in the amp at least

Anyone heard the new ti elite comp?
Is it the same or better as the ti elite 5-1,i mean as power and quality?

I have yet to hear ANY of the new equipment..... By new I mean in the last 2 yrs.....

Yowzer! Those elite subs look like star wars@warp speed. Midbasses look exactly like Hertz Hi-energy. Tweets look like business!

I couldnt help but notice that the subs appear to have 3 or more inputs on each woofer whats up with that

I'm guessing one is for the leds like the old ti elite

Ahh makes sense I have never been in person with a ti so that would explain that

Correct, two inputs are for the Voice Coils. There is a third smaller terminal that is clearly labeled LEDs.

Amps are completed, will arrive in USA end of this month.

Speakers are in production more news to follow.

Morgan - So who's actually building the Elite amps if they're arriving "Back in the USA" at the end of the month?????

That is a good question.

Small, high end contract manufacture in Korea.

They have 5 workers on the production line. Each with about 5 to 15 years experience assembling and testing amplifiers.

We have not ruled out making some amplifiers in the USA in the future, as USA is becoming more competitive compared to Asia when it comes to mid to higher quality items.

But for now Korea a great option on quality and manufacturing experience for complex amplifiers.

If Koreans are half as good at building amps as they are to playing Starcraft, we'll be in good hands.

just gotta ask if you plan to send any north of the border or if your keeping them all for yourselves..LOL but really I havn't seen a dealer around hear in eons and have a real good feeling about a few of these amps, mids and subs in my new car this summer.. well I hope

The direct answer is it really depends on our Canadian Dist Gentec.

If you want something bad enough I am sure we can probably make something happen.

Thanks, unfortunately for me the nearest dealer is about 1500 miles away for a demo but things change and I'm sure I will manage with my meager stash I have for now till I can get a few of the new ones in my hands to check them out in person

apparently Gentec doesn't list any dealers east of Saskatchewan? thats almost half the country not serviced
