OMG I think I'm obsessed, I just bought another amplifier & it's a beast.... I did get a bargain tho, it was originally for a good price but I resisted temptation, but then I got an email from eBay this morning offering me a 20% discount. Now bearing in mind it will replace an existing amplifier that I will sell for around £110-£130 (that I have owned for about 8 years), it will eventually only cost me £30-40 to have upgraded after my 20% is added in (£38). It will power literally ANY speaker upgrades I make to the front soundstage, plus it will give me visual symmetry in my amp rack as both amplifiers will be exactly the same size.....
JL Audio 450/4v2
Instead of just over £200 (secondhand) I got £38 off, and will sell the amp it replaces for £120 or so. £40 or so to upgrade?
Yep it probably sounds like I'm trying to justify the extra outlay (I am), & the fact I will most likely be going for more speakers in the front soundstage as this amp is 150w R.M.S 4ohm all the way down to a 1ohm load, so I can run pretty much as many speakers in the front as I want.....
The amp on the right is being replaced with one the same dimensions as the one on the left, which will be moved slightly towards the left so the symmetry is perfect.
My only real problem (other than a cash shortfall) is my ears being ridiculously hyper critical, with the desire of wanting to it to be absolutely perfect. The Stealth look will still be my aim, but custom door builds look like they will be the order of the day, with another set of JL Audio C3-650's getting slotted in, and that means I will still have 1x 150w R.M.S to play with, which could power a small subwoofer in the front passenger footwell......
OMG I think I really am obsessed :/
