I've been looking for an amp that is rated around 175-200 wrms for my new Rainbow 6.5" Germanium comps and was really wanting an Audison Lrx-2.500 to power them but I can not locate one and don't really want to pay $640 + for it, so after looking around I've noticed I can get one of the RF anniversay Punch 75 (for $199 shipped) and these amps are so underrated that the birth sheets on these are averaging around 180-200+ wrms @ 4 ohms per channel and the Punch 150's are averaging 300-340 wrms @ 4 ohms per channel.
Is there or would there even be a big sound difference or would you to the average ear not even notice it? If not why wouldn't you buy a punch 75 amp for a set of comps and a punch 150 to power your subs (1000+wrms @ 1 ohm) and only have ~ $400-500 total in two amps.
The reason I am interested in the Audison is due to it's size I can't go any bigger than 17" and I already have found and purchased the Audison Lrx 2.250 for my Rainbow SL165 coax rear fill and will be using a JL Audio 500/1 for my 10" 10w3v2 JL sub.
What about the Arc Audio 2500xxK would this amp be a could compliment with the Audison Lrx2.250 or should I stay with the same brands and try and find a Lrx2.500 or save my money and just get a RF Punch 75!!
Please need some input I have everything I need but a main amp, before I can install my system.
