Has anyone here ever heard of Helix,Brax or Becker amps are these really as good as they say or what?

I have heard of Helix and Brax, but never heard them in an install. I have seen great reviews of both but never had a chance to personally test them out. If given the chance and the price was right I sure would give them a shot. Becker I have never heard of before. Are they supposed to be in the same class?

yes they have been making amps for mercedes for years and have apparently put out a few sq amps in limited numbers of their own name seen one on the bay right now from germany. got me a little intrieged as I,m planning a system for my clk this spring as well and it would fit the theme

Interesting, I'll have to give them a look. Even if I don't get a chance to use them it's still nice to know about all of these different brands.

Ive heard some Brax and they were SICK... similar to a VRx Audison with a little less sack. They used to make em gold plated too!

the words "becker audio system" makes me shudder thinking of all the old mercedes that I had to bypass that little fuggin fader control on the consol.......

I read somewhere in a review that the brax sounded better than mcintosh is this possible?

As with most audio I guess that would depend on who's ear you are using.

Yep, I hear ya. I really don't have any good shops around me.

BTW, reading back on my comments that sounded that sounded like I was being a smart ass. Sorry, that wasn't my intention, just trying to help out.

If the Becker headunit's are anything to go by then they will be super nice. A friend has a becker headunit, everything about it is nice right down to the way the CD is pulled in

I always looked at BEcker as the MTX or Pyle of the European market having been to Italy several times and noticing the name in several cars and those al-in-one electronics shops.

I'm sure the stuff is made in Asia.

Ok lets just say MYX or KICKER since Pyle hasn't been good quality for years now.
