^ There are very few amps on this planet I would consider the Pioneers a downgrade from, and the Zeds certainly aren't in that group.

How so?

Older less efficient topology:check
no crossovers:check
a lot less power:check
Ugly: tie

lol, I never thought of them as a downgrade either.

less efficient topology sure. they cant be THAT inefficient though. I have not needed to upgrade my fusing at all (from zeds recommended sizing)
crossovers? i personally loved that they are filterless. that was one feature that drew me towards them.
power? I can honestly say I notice NO drop off in power. NONE.

ugly, i could care less what the amp looks like. as long as it performs.

but then again, whether you view it as a downgrade would simply depend on what your priorities in an amp are right?

personally it is still too early too tell, but all indications are I am going to like these amps a lot more than the last ones.

..and even if i don't in the end, change is fun.

It looks like it's time to update your signature.

So when a few became available to me, I couldn't resist picking them up!
These will be installed in the next few days. Just wanted to give everyone a look at what they are all about.

I am most excited about the A900's. Four channels, four gains, zero filters. It is just pure amplification.

I am going to have two A900's on my 3way front stage, and a 1200SPL splitting duties between my subwoofer and tactile transducer.

I'll give more thoughts on these amps once the install is complete and they are up and running.

In the meantime here are some pics of the amps!
Nice DEX-P99RS soon i will buy this beauty...

^you won't be disappointed. I've had a few high end decks, and this near takes the cake.

it's a chunk of change, but definitely worth it for what you gain with this head unit.
