I'm not going to say good or bad. I'm going to say "less desirable".
Being loud without good sound quality is pointless, but having good sound quality without being loud is also pointless.

Dont be fooled these were overbuilt.. they just got a bad name because of the "overseas" bullshit, there is a few members on here who have built systems around these and have sworn by them, good clean sound and powerful!!

I love my RSD amps. Love the looks, love that they are very clean sounding. I liked that they had built in fuses. In my opinion a well built amp.

I'm sure they do just fine. I didn't say they were bad, I said "less desirable". If you look around, the Ti, ZPA, MS, Tantrum, M series, Xenon, QX series, and others seem to be more desired by collectors and system builders alike. Desirability has no bearing on the performance.

Fwiw my two amps were made in Korea, but I don't hold that against them.

i LOVE that they are less desirable . they are great amps, and that drove down the price. you can buy 250.2 and 300.1's under $100.
