Thanks Man, thinking get rid of my StEG AQ75.4 and replace by this awesome beast. Getting bored with current amp, they are lack of power and dynamic.

I don't know much about StEG, but I know a ton about RF, and really I would think the StEG would out perform the RF 200DSM.

RF amps are a lacking in sound quality, hence the reason everyone suggests them for bass. And, the DSM line of amps are highly unreliable. Don't get me wrong though, I like the DSM amps and have several of them personally. I keep them for collectors reasons though, not to use.

Additionally, these amps are not nearly as underrated as everyone always thought. Rated for 100W x 2, that amp is probably at best 120W x 2. Other amps the same age from Soundstream or PG for example may be as high as 180W x 2 or more when only rated at 100W x 2.
