I only know of one - XTant 1.1i.

Are there any other full range mono amps out there to compare?

I'm thinking of running a pair for the front speakers (Morel Dotech 5). I like the idea of no boost and no Xover. The size of the XTant 1.1i is perfect.

If anyone here has pros and cons, I would appreciate it. Comments about going mono versus 2 channel also welcome.

One last request. Where can you buy XTant products here in Canada? XTant web site is not working at the moment - I hope their products are more reliable.

heh... look like nice amps... seem kind of pricey though...

Id prefer a 2 or 4 channel amp... but using several smaller amps adds install versatility...

If they are mono blocks you could probably bridge two together if you really wanted to... Four should be good for a front stage IMO...

They are made for a unique user purpose. Not to compete with a 2 ch or 4 ch. They are a single channel class D amp that is full range.

Yes they are available in Canada.

I use the DLS A3. Its a a true twin mono 100 amplifier.

2 X 100.

I have my amps set up one amp for each side of the car. One amp does mid tweet rigth, the other amp mid-tweet left.

very nice amp

Cool, I'll look into it. Hopefully a little more affordable than the Sinfonia.

Any other alternatives out there?
