I've owned Genesis Dual Mono's, Zapco competition series amps and Linear Power 2.2HVs. I like these relatively cheaper amps just as much as those higher end amps. I was originally attracted to these amps because their home theater recievers use hybrid feedback technology from a class D architecture. These amps are very efficient and at the same time lots of power and punch. Aside from getting the midbass and midrange right, the highs are also just as brilliant. I run these amps hours on end at high levels and they barely get warm. They also don't dim lights like my other class AB amps did. Very glad to have these amps running.
