Old Kenwood? I never figured they put out good amps? I have an old MTX amp i have had since 96. From the birthsheet it was about 20% underrated and it played decent.

I must say it is very tempting to buy some of these old amps i see on Ebay. Only thing i noticed is that a lot of these amps are being put out by repair shops. They buy them, fix em, resell them. Im not sure if that makes them as good as new... But i'm weary since they don't advertise it that way. I almost bought an old soundstream 700sx amp until i realized the ebayer selling it, had bought the thing a month prior and it was being sold as a non-functional unit. How easy are these amps to repair?

my favorites from back in the day were the ppi pro mos, the ppi art series, the rf punch amps....not the punch dsm stuff, a/d/s power plates, and the old kenwood stuff, kac1020/1021 and the like.......

Didn't here anybody mention Hifonics...Still good, if not better than 90's
Drawback $$$'s
But still their newer amps have been rated as some of the best in the industry.

One amp left off your short list was Linear Power. I have two built in the early 90's still powering my system.

They were even used at Disneyland to power the sound systems in the vehicles for the Main St. Electrical Parade :sm29:
