The limiters available in the Powersoft amps are streets ahead of what the DCX2496 can do. The DCX2496's peak limiters will keep an amplifier out of clip, but that's not the same as protecting your drivers. I'd suggest the FIR processing could be an interesting learning opportunity - part of taking things to the next level. It's your cash, of course, but I think there's a strong case for the T604. Chris PS - U.Viktor, I was wondering when you'd show up. You seem to forget that much has a non-zero crest factor, but that's okay. The Powersoft T-series amplifiers perform very well in use. If you'd tried them for yourself, you'd know that.

What We have seen about testing "newer" Powersoft amplifiers is that they *CAN NOT DELIVER REAL SERIOUS CONTINUOUS POWERS* Built with very weak PSU, power figures are largely inflated. Exactly same situation with their active modules, but all their active modules suck.. as everybody knows. 10% average specs from Powersoft is a joke, even AES would need at least 25% peak-to-average capabilities. So this is the main limiting factor :-) it ha the advantage that much less likely will not destroy your speakers , however your subs, sustained power /SPL performance will suffer too.. And sometimes not only the LOW section needs at least 1/3 of the peak for several seconds to provide not compressed output .
