for the amp shootout.

I'd be interested to put the Matrix 6004 against my Powersoft T604.

Suggest we run it all from a wonky old genny just to keep the speakerplans spirit alive. 


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.

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

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.

It's better because you can't bridge it or go below 4 ohms without compromising the unit? Okay. Shame most '4 ohm nominal' systems dip below 4 ohms, regularly, eh? A bridged X4 can deliver 300v before clip, by the way. So if you compare apples to apples, considering the X4 is half bridge, you full bridge it and also have an amp that is aimed at 4 ohm usage. Plus a world class DSP and library of presets.


DSP does not solve the issue that Powersoft failed to exploit the advantages of three phase operation and they have put a *weak* undersized power supply into the X4. A 2KW power supply is simply NOT enough for a 20KW amp...
1. Here are the rectifier diodes of the power supply -- With very small heatsink => small heat dissipated because no serious current
2. There are very small fuses, 16A maybe? these fuses are not used in amplifier what can do 100A+ output, just check the K series with much beefier fuses.
3. There is minimal heatsinking of the amplifier parts because this amp can not do high crest factors.
We have measured it that time and I can confirm 4x ~470W capability instead of 4x ~5000W..  :-D

I see their bad modules sold with fancy DSP expensively, bit pity. Is not it?

X4 has around 190Joules / ch
XE10000 has 270Joules / ch




I uploaded this picture again because it mysteriously disappeared. I think that equipment shall be judged by its true physical construction and not based on marketing crap.


Very good and respectable posting!

Cheers mate!

For all Powersoft lovers, I put again this video, showing REAL ACTING of K10, you judge!
