Phoenix Gold Phorum

It looks like the PG website has been updated with the new ti series amps. Was wondering what everybody's thoughts were comparing these two amps. From the specs, there is a slight difference in output, size, and class. I realize the new version is not out yet for real world comparisons.

I like that the old version was a hybrid with triple Darlington output stage and sub channel offering slightly more output and stable to 1 ohm.

I like that the new version is very compact and offers higher power to the front and rear channels.

There is a HUGE difference in the size of the two amps. There is also a slight difference in the S/N ratio on paper, but if you can hear that difference you are superhuman. It's only 2 ohm stable, but you can adjust for that in system planning and isn't a huge deal. Really, the big test will come when someone installs one and we find out about heat dissipation. If the little one gets hot, it's going to have a hard time cooling down with such little surface area. That's the biggest question mark for me, not the sound or output.

this amps are shipping now? I would like to see a review somewhere

The new one is all class d so it does not need to be to super big.
