Matrix, Macrotech or Void to run 2 hogscoops?

However TuffRyder is looking at the newer lightweifht MA5000i as opposed to the old heavyweight MA5000VZ.

These days, there are plenty of right choices and ways of doing things. But I would take £1200 used Inf8V2 over £800 MA-5000 anyday of the week. Most of us "mostly" play in places with only household 240V 13A sockets, and in these venues, Inf8V2 will outplay the Crown, not only due to more output power, but mostly due to efficiency of  87% vs  much older Crowns 65%. Advantage of MA-5000, Good design, holds price well, very solid performance if fed decent mains current, plenty of docs/support info. Disadvantages, poor sound quality/high distortion compared to other sub amps, low efficiency compared to modern amps, costly to repair, poor performance if mains supply not very stiff or sagging.

Thanks again for the input. Didn´t know that there were two versions of the Marcotech 5000. Anyone sitting on some info about the new version regarding the disadvantages posted above? Could those issues been fixed in the newer version?

I´m really intrested in keeping the weight down. The rig is probably going to be heavy as it is without me having to lug 50 kilos of amp as well.. However. I do not want to sacrifice quality sound for lightweight.

This is my first rig and I don´t want to be a "dibby dibby sound". It´s not going to be the biggest rig around but I want it to sound great.

As an electronics techno freak I use Matrix amps. I like the design and topology. I have had many SMPS failures with amps. Not one Matrix yet, not even in a venue with 250vAC.

Om jag var du skulle jag köpa en Lab 6400 kan användas för 3 PD1850 en kanal, har jag gjort det, en av de bästa förstärkarna där ute.

Not one Matrix yet, not even in a venue with 250vAC.   I have no issues with them. I have used an awful lot of them too.   I have personally never liked 5000's. The Void is OK, but I preffer Matrix. For the money they have the most bang per buck, and the after sales service is second to none.

I¨ve been recomended Matrix by several people and I started talking to Matt @ Matrix about buying the XT5000/6000 but he wouldn´t give me the price over e-mail and insisted that we talked over the phone but we could never get our schedules to sync and we never talked. Since then I´ve sent him a couple of e-mails but I haven´t got any response. That´s basically the reason why I started looking at other amps again, otherwise I was pretty much set on buying from Matrix.

Var det med 3x PD1850 per kanal?

Jag vet att FP13000 kan göra det, eftersom jag har sett FP13000 chines kopian göra det ... LOL ..

Skulle behöva brandsläckare om du försöker att göra det med Matrix lätta .. LOL ..

Ja det var 3 per kanal, vi gör det också med 3V18-1000 per kanal i hogs körde dem för 4days på Roskilde festivalen, se något labb över 6400 kommer att göra jobbet, lol Lev nu är du blir bättre på danska och svenska Lol kommer du upp snart hehehe
