Silver Member Username: Zacdavis~Post Number: 228 Registered: Sep-04 | i've seen a few ma audio amps in the winners circle more than once, plenty of people use them in spl. but sq?...not so much they deserve more credit than "very cheap stuff" |

Silver Member Username: Koz1031Monticello, In United states Post Number: 285 Registered: Jul-04 | I have to agree with zac. I'm running a MA Audio HK897 bridged at 1200 rms. Not a bit problems. I also have a friend at work that runs the MA Audio HK1397. He doesn't have any complaints either, in fact he is getting ready to buy another one. |
|
kklagge Unregistered guest | I'm still up in the air about buying the Ma Audio HK597 or the Soundstream VGA500.4. The HK597 will fit better with the custom sub box from subbox.net without needing them to modify anything (which costs extra $$ of course) (I know now we're talking amps instead of subs, sorry) |

Silver Member Username: Koz1031Monticello, In United states Post Number: 286 Registered: Jul-04 | I paid $122 for my hk897 new in box shipped. go ahead and start naming. |

Silver Member Username: Koz1031Monticello, In United states Post Number: 287 Registered: Jul-04 | kklagge I also have the vga480.2. Very nice amp. no matter what other people say. To me it's a coin toss. on the 2 amps you have mentioned. I'm sure bacon has other ideas and is probably better versed at this than I am though. I do have to agree with bacon though the von gogh is a much better amp, or the human reign is totally awsome looks and performance. But it still boils down to what your preference is and what the pocket book allows. Either of the 2 that you mentioned will serve you well. |

Gold Member Username: Its_bacon12Hfl, Ny Usa Post Number: 1106 Registered: Dec-03 | lol well then... lanzar, pyle, pyramid, rockwood, kole, soundstorm, will all compete with the quality / price of ma audio look the difference may not be incredibly significant but it is definately there and nothing show it better than glasswolfs good bad and the guly list http://p079.ezboard.com/fcaraudiotalkfrm27.showMessage?topicID=48.topic please notice where MA Audio is catagorized |

kklagge Unregistered guest | I've decided on the Soundstream VGA500.4 (even before reading bacons post). I've done a lot more research and now know it's bar far the better amp for the money (and it'll fit almost perfectly in the space I have to mount any amps....just want something clean & loud to listen to without going broke on competition level stuff) |

Gold Member Username: Its_bacon12Hfl, Ny Usa Post Number: 1111 Registered: Dec-03 | nice choice and i hope it works weel for you  |

Silver Member Username: Zacdavis~Post Number: 252 Registered: Sep-04 | i love soundstream, i collect old refference series, i've got over a dozen of them. and i collect old art series ppi's as well, i buy old crutchfeild amps as well when ever i come across them. i have bunches of old equip what nowdays is considered vintage to most, even got a few a/d/s amps |

Silver Member Username: Koz1031Monticello, In United states Post Number: 289 Registered: Jul-04 | zac--you forgot to mention the fact that you also collect spl records also. WTG by the way. kklagge You'll really like the soundstream. I kow they didn't make glass's top 10 list but still a very nice amp. You still ought to look at soundstreams human reign series if you haven't. They LOOK totally awesome. But also pricy. |

New member Username: RockytophighNashville, TN USA Post Number: 8 Registered: Nov-04 | Zac, you're killing me. I'll never forget the day I bought my Soundstream MC500. Unfortunately, the wife would never allow me to collect amps. She gave me grief when I bought the Van Gogh 500.4, lol. Great buy for the money though. |
|
Silver Member Username: Zacdavis~Post Number: 266 Registered: Sep-04 | thank you koz, and yes that human reign amp is quite thee amp, i still havent seen one in person yet though. hey john, i've got a little D60 sounstream too |
|
New member Username: RockytophighNashville, TN USA Post Number: 9 Registered: Nov-04 | Now that you mention it, i've still got a D100 in my "stereo box" in the garage. I wanted the D60 when I bought it but Hifi Buys didn't have it in stock. You got any links to your setup? |
