Phoenix Gold Phorum

The Amplifier Phoenix Gold RSd 500.4 is good or bad

you are saying
be hot when lit takes a while
somebody knows what is the temperature limit

I'm not going to say good or bad. I'm going to say "less desirable".

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.
