Hey everone. I did a search but could not find much info. How are the Ryval amps? I have a set of Boston Acoustics pro60 and need a cost effective way to give them some nice power.

they will do the job. they have a basic feature-set. make their rated power and have some very reliable engineering behind them. sounds like you are exactly the consumer they designed them for.

thanks for the reply. If I could spend a little more and could find a nice older PG or a JL 300/2, would you go that route or go with the Ryval?

The PG RSD amps offer a marked improvement for not much money, and are pretty much the same as any past top of the line PG amp.

If you want a JL 300.2, a Xenon 100.2 or 200.2 would probably be good as well. The Xenon series was also regulated to operate 1-4 ohms, but it used a different method to regulate this, which allows it to produce much more headroom.

Yeah I have thought about the Xenon. Seem to be a little harder to find used than the JL 300/2. You can find the JL amps all day but not many PG

I know you expect a baised opionion of the JL...but it really is not much different then older PG mid-lines like the tantrum 300.2. so for the money it seems like a waste IMO

i would just go with whichever you find a killer deal on first

Yeah the JL amps seem to be the "in" amps I guess, which does not matter to me. I have always had PG since the 90's. My first system I had a ms275 and a ms2125. Then I had a ms2125 and a ms2250, then my last system had a ti500.4 and a ti1000.2. Like you said, I will just keep my eyes open and find the best deal and that will prob be the determining factor.
