Any thoughts on amplifiers that are comparable in quality to Arc Audio amps that are a bit cheaper price-wise?

I need a monoblock as close to 700W rms @ 2 ohms as possible, and a 2-channel as close to 100W rms @ 4 ohms as possible.

Not interested in used. Thanks.

 

A lot of cerwin vega and clarion stuff is the same as arc.
If you want small, go on sonicelectronix and look for the vibe litebox series. Same thing as arc mini at a small fraction of the price.
Nothing special about arc stuff really, not sure why arc is your target.

 

Is Arc the new bestest amp out? I'll have to write that down somewhere...

 

Arc amps are really expensive...

 

Maybe you should change that to some arc lines are expensive? I mean yeah the SE stuff is pricey but i dont think the KS series is overpriced at all. The minis are a bit much but they make the already small KS series look huge.

 

ARC SE's are nice and you can score a deal on them if you look hard....... online. Retail wise at your local mom and pop shop, the ARC line is priced out there considering what it is and where it's coming from.

What sort of price point are you trying to buy at ........ $100-$200 ????

 

Arc Audio has 3 lines of amps ranging from $239 to $1349 excluding the 4200SE mono block.

In addition the CDN retail has been at par with US prices for all of 2010 & is backed with a full 1 year warranty.

 

sorry paul but arc amps are ubber kool because chip foose said so!!so for the calander yr. of 2011 i expect to see alot of arc audio amps with hat. speakers.. because its the new jl/ppi/mb quart. combo on the block...

 

You will need to look at MTX Elite or Orion HCCA or Digital Designs for that quality level but at better prices...
