Due to current circumstances I'm considering selling my 10k Pkn. I'd really rather not but an expensive divorce along with liquidation of my assets I may be open to sensible offers. PM directly on here if anyones interested. Sorry mods, understand the normal sale rules but my hands are tied so please delete this post if its a step to far.

I assume they're all cheap Chinese pd1850 copies at £61 each?

I’m afraid I won’t let you plug a Matrix amp into my cabinets and drive it to the limit. Unless you’re willing to foot a recone bill should the amp fail. Edited by toastyghost - 06 December 2019 at 10:23pm |

I've started a new thread here: https://forum.speakerplans.com/amp-shootout-2020_topic104565.html for the amp shootout. I'd be interested to put the Matrix 6004 against my Powersoft T604. Chris

Depending on timing I can add a updated sae pcm 20 (what ben at elements audio is selling as the ck 26,) and a matrix xt6004 if anyone is interested. I'd like to see how the ck26 compares to the pkn.
Suggest we run it all from a wonky old genny just to keep the speakerplans spirit alive.

I can do early January, but later on that month could be tricky. March would probably be better. Here's the list of amps we've (probably) got available so far: - Powersoft - T304, T604, T602, K20, X4, X8 - MC2 Delta - Linea 44M20 - PKN XE10000 - Crown - MA12000i, MA5002VZ - SAE PQM13 Should be an interesting day. Chris

Happy to do an a/b in a venue before if anybody has any ideas.

In all honesty it’s going to be January, and then in our new spot perhaps whilst it’s a building site. Otherwise March. Lots on! |

So the amp turned up today. Had a quick play with it, single 18" reflex loaded with PD184. Sounded really good, better than a 6000 which I find quite untonal. Appears to be plenty of power available. Obviously this needs to be tested properly and compared to similar amps but on first impressions I'm happy with it. Just waiting on Kyle to get back to me with a date.

Not interested in bench tests, we're driving speakers, not banks of copper in a bucket of water. You can measure the frequency response of an amplifier including DSP performance - if the amp has it - quite easily using a decent transformer network, and I have a dedicated device for this, as well as easy tapping of output voltage using a TrueRMS meter for devices that don't offer built-in impedance tracking. It's also much better to use a calibrated RTA platform and SPL measurement with an adjusted input stimulus to ensure that the same amount of voltage gain / multiplier is being applied. That makes it much easier to compare the 'tone' of an amp rather than getting into a pissing contest of pure loudness. That can of course be done, to see which amp is able to deliver the most peak and long-term SPL by using simple Leq measurements as well as peak hold. I can also track current draw to see roughly how efficient each unit is, although this is a place that you can generally trust the manufacturer's data if they're a decent company. You don't sell hundreds of amps to proper installs without thermal dissipation and current draw data... |
