Experiences with ZED?

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Well, I'm a fan, so I thought we could kick this off with a little discussion as to what experiences our memebers have with the products. I myself have been a huge fan since the GOOD Hifonics. Wish I never sold them, or the ESX, or the Rodek I had. I am very picky on my equipment and of the many choices out there, I have always come back to two prominent companies, Zed and Zapco. Zap is a little out of my pricerange and frankly, I don't see a benefit over ZED. What I really like is when I shoot you guys an email, I get to talk to the man himself. That is an honor right there and holds high regards in my book. So MR. Mantz, welcome and thanks for staying true to the hobby!

And welcome to the board Mr. Mantz!! Your expertise will be greatly appreciated here.

Jensen?

Actually, no. It's a Cadence a5000 "Sweet Poison" that Zed did for Cadence back in the 90's. I'm not sure if it was Zed built or Zed designed, but for all intents and purposes it's a Zed amp.

Sorry, I should have put some sort of sarcastic smiley behind that.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

there was a 900 watt version, but I never bought it

Forgive me..... I heard my Cadence scream when I read Jensen. I had to run to it's defense!

I love y'all

I had a lot of email correspondance with him and he was VERY helpful and prompt with his replys. Sadly my install went in another direction, but in the end I'm sure I'll visit him sometime or another to purchase an amp.

I'm personally waiting on the megalith. That should be fun :-D.

My experience with Zed has always been good and I'm glad there is finally a Zed forum b/c i have a lot of questions!

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

that is a nice collection, we love pictures here if you want to post up a pic of the amplifers,

Thank you all for the kind words. It is nice to know that one is appreciated. What we at Zed have done is to offer high end equipment at affordable prices. I trust that most of you have visited the web site. It is a very different site in that it is written by an engineer and NOT a sales person. I have also made the site very different from all the others.

Zed will build amplifiers based on what you guys (and girls) want. This is why I held the promotion on the new Kronos and Leviathan. A similar thing will occur when we start on the tube amps. So all suggestions should be emailed to me at "zedaudio@aol.com", they will be filed and once I am ready to begin all those suggestions will be considered.

Thanks once again

There was a promotion on the Kronos and Leviathan?

I have been in email contact with Mr. Mantz about the Leviathan and he never mentioned any promotion to me. I wish I had signed up for that one.

when he said promotion, i think he was talking about getting everyones input on what features and rating they would like to see on the amps.
