Phoenix Gold Radials replacing the xenon line.

Silver Member Username: Naledge503Portland, Oregon U.S. Post Number: 413 Registered: Jun-06 | I just found these new phoenix gold radial amplifiers. I guess they are replacing the xenon line. They are CEA rated. I found a 1200.1 on google. it does 1200 rms @ 2 ohms and it was under $400 dollars. just thought i would spread the word. I thought it was interesting. |

Silver Member Username: Naledge503Portland, Oregon U.S. Post Number: 416 Registered: Jun-06 | I agree they're not too pretty. But they are CEA rated and if you can get them cheap, then it makes it worth it. The tantrums, man, when you hold one of those and just by looking at it, its like you could feel its power..lol. I love all the old style, metal amps. Like the RF's, the old grey metal ones. I love those things. Those old RF's still sell for a pretty penny too. |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 3094 Registered: Dec-05 | that's a problem cuz their voltage is 14.4, so there's no way you can see more output from that amp. I liked the unregulated power supply with the ratings at 12V. All amps were underrated lol! |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4904 Registered: Jun-04 | the signal to noise on the new phoenix gold rsd amps stinks .....take a look compared to the xenons....think the rsd was 85sn and the xenon was 100sn |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4905 Registered: Jun-04 | also if you count the caps in you pics the xenon has 8 and the rsd has 6 large ones....id bet its close |

|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4906 Registered: Jun-04 | also id assume not all caps are equal....i means theres a reson xenon specs out better on paper than the rsd |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4907 Registered: Jun-04 | well I think you can in terms of the total performance of the amplifier....I wouldnt buy an amp with a 85sn...i might as well buy a generic amp like a sherwood lol |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4908 Registered: Jun-04 | think of it this way a set of good mb quartz might say the tweeters play up to 30 k which is above human hearing but what you hear is much sweeter to the ear where you can hear up to which is 20k |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 3100 Registered: Dec-05 | lilrob is crazy hehe, we know that already lol! i'd pick the xenon cuz of the wiring options... if the Radial were way cheaper, like 150$ less than the xenon, then i'd say is a better choice, but i'd pick the xenon anyday! |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Chicago, Ill Us Post Number: 2358 Registered: Feb-06 | the rsd have way bigger caps take a look the replaced the middle caps with some beefy caps plus they replace all of the small caps on the upperrightcorner with beefier caps and like a said they added a second power spupply. yeah u right they both have pros and con. yeah teh xenon have the wiring capabilities and the rsd no. oh hey the trantrum are really good but i think u cant find them anymore. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 1487 Registered: Jan-06 | maris, doubt he knows other then looking at the amp boards and guessing, but to answer your question the xenons put out the power at 1-4ohm and the tantrums 2-4ohms. the tantrums were really solid amps and had great cooling. along with the fact they were pretty underrated so out of the 1200.1 you could get 1450rms easy. also they were class T and the xenons are D |
