Long as you get the ones with loads of LED lights on the front, they will last longer and the inductance of the diodes gives you a smoother tighter bass and crisper topend.

If you get a working one, it'll probably be reliable for 5 minutes or so
4 ohms is for wimps

Sky tec is brilliant if you fancy being ripped off.

Otherwise go Tamp, AudioHead, Matrix ukp or second hand matrix.

Amps to be wary of include sky tec, stageline IMG, soundlab to name a couple.

Anyone know what warrior or gemini amps are like? Lots being sold on htfr.com.

Kam's KXR range is also a very good budget reliable amp. I've been spanking the 2000 for about 4 years doing bass.

Not Audiohead - it's a rip-off of an old Mackie power amp design. Same for C-Mark. Don't support the counterfeiters!Angry
