I would like to know who has heard used the new pg gear


I would like to say i heard the r1 10" but they had to give it 400 rms to really rock the sound board 200 it didn't really come alive?. vs the alpine and jl it was not close till they changed amps(bigger) it did beat the sony and pioneer they had

I am curious too. We have two dealers now in town but neither seems to know the benifit of a good working soundboard for people to demo the equipment or to even just see it. To this day I have not heard nor even been able to touch the new gear since the redo and have seen nothing but pictures and heard nothing but descriptions.

just looked on youtube also as i was not able to go to ces 2012 but there 2 post of a hotwheel with out logos and one guy talking a little about the eltie amp but only a minute long

I have.

Ti800.4 Really Like
S1000.1 Really Like
S400.4 OK (sounds good, just not a lot of power)

That is the extent of what I have heard.

SD1300.5 - Pros: Huge power in small package, looks good, sounds clean, RMD port, bass knob, fan is quiet, panel mount RCA's Cons: No option to change crossover from HP to BYP or LP on front channels
SD500.4 - Pros: Good power (think Ti500.4 of old) in tiny package, looks good, sounds good, selectable crossovers (HP/BYP/LP), panel mount RCA's Cons: Noise floor higher than I would like (slight hiss only audible when you put your ears close ~ 2 ft from tweeters)

I can give you better reviews of the 1300.5 when I get my Xcon 12 hooked up and everything tuned which should be sometime next week. Right now it's powering a pair of PG XS10d4 subs (125 watts each @ 2 ohms off of the front channels) and it sounds good and gets pretty loud.

Weekend update: Just helped a friend finish his install using an SD1300.5 to run a set of Hybrid Audio components and a Sundown 12" subwoofer. We set the gains with the o-scope, played around with speaker phasing and EQ and have come up with a great sounding system. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with how much power this amplifier has and how good it sounds.

I have the new Ti1500.1d running my 2 12w6s wired to 1 ohm and it runs them better than any other amp I've seen and even after a solid 4 hour bump session my amp is still cold to the touch very well built and I love the fact that the manual tells u how many clicks it takes to tune to a specific frequency.

Overall anything from the new Ti line is going to be worth your money

i have a set of the ti6.5cs. i have only heard them in a set of bookshelf enclosures hooked up to my onkyo receiver but they sounded really nice.
