For $1500 i'd rather get a seperate 4 channel amp and a monoblock.

I've never been a fan of 3 or 5 channel amps, they're more compact than getting 2 amps but personally i just prefer more grunt... hehe

yes very true, but $1500 is rrp, i'm sure you could get it down.
looking at the specs, it does look impressive.

have you ever think of Focal Amp ? Focal just releasing a 5ch Amplifier its worth to have a look at . . .

Boston is good too but for the price Focal is cheaper . . .and looks much better

stop wasting time, go out and have a bloody listen to it, words on a forum from people you dont know mean nothing if your not prepared to listen to them.

Excellent amp. Notice the power ratings are valued at 12.6V not 14.4. So like many top end amp this will make the power very easily and if you measure it at 14.4 the values will be much higher.

These features make it very expensive
# Q-Tune™ technology combines sophisticated crossover adjustments with Q-Control settings to seamlessly transition rear bass to the front sound stage
# The GT's DPS™ (Dynamic Power System™) ensures high efficiency and ouput stages, increased power with lower impedance and maximum dynamics and transient response

How sick is it to control System Q settings for each channel on your amplifier. Thats pretty damn awesome.

It has multiple mounts for cool installations.

I give this amp my thumbs up! :thumbsup:
