Last time I was in New York I think that's mostly what I did...eat, and look around real record stores.

only passable? you are way to close to NY to not be able to get a good one Oh, I know, the best I've had were in NYC...but that's an 8 hour drive from here...not really "way too close" Even Philly is a pretty good hike from here.

Regardless of what the other guy said, the whole notion of "underpowering" is a dumb one, LB really didn't have anything to go on for that post

Thank you! Do you really need a 4 channel amp to accomplish this? For a 2-way active setup, you need four channels of amplification (one for each driver being used) - whether or not that's from a single 4 channel amp or two 2-channels, doesn't really matter. For a 3-way active setup, you'd need six channels of amplification - again, the number of amps isn't important as long as you have all the channels you need

Oh, you were looking at kW amps before, I was confused It should do the job, then.

They've been discontinued for a couple years, the last time I looked they were around $300. Good for around 1.4kW into a 1 ohm load. I wouldn't even consider anything PA, and that Pioneer is a 600W amp...

Performance how? Are you looking more for accuracy or output... I'd be worried about how it failed, any sub you drop in there has the same chance of failing if it's not set up correctly.

Better for what? How did the L7 fail?

Not bad, but nothing particularly special, either. For what they were charging I'd rather have a Shiva-X or SI BM if I wanted a 12".

I saw one of those fail and send DC into a sub, so I couldn't really recommend that personally. Now an older Cadence, perhaps...it's slightly more power than you wanted, but the A7+HCs were damn near bulletproof.

Unless you're competing, I wouldn't bother.

I wouldn't bother with that amp.

Possibly

I'd much rather have the sealed Brahma - they sound quite nice

The Who - Baba O'Riley Dylan - Chimes of Freedom

Is there any particular reason you want to have that much preout voltage?

Although I did find a place in town that had a passable pastrami & swiss

Too much Warsteiner last night

I've found that the same coax cable strippers that satellite TV installers use, seems to work well for 8awg/4awg wire. For 0awg, utility knife.

I was about to say, the Imp must have been near the length of the van...

I had a chance to hear an SR, and I didn't think so... It's not a question of quality, it's a question of whether or not the typical keyboard commando is willing to pay the prices they're wanting at dealers.

I bumbed all last night, it was glorious.

Their switch to a dealer network instead of online sales caused the rabble to go elsewhere...
