the tantrum series of amplifiers is inferior to the xenon and the titanium!!!

i cant stress that enough, in fact it was because of power supply problems w/ the tantrum line that i nearly gave up on phoenix gold and dropped the line. that's right big748, im the store manager in a pg authorized shop!!!

my point was that without exception the titanium are the best of those mentioned, but the xenon is an acceptable replacement for the non-discriminating listener on a budget

I'd s save up and get the Xenon or the titanium. As said previously, they make the world of difference and sound a lot better (Price tag reflecting). Worth the investment to some, not to others, but in your case i'd go for it. Keep the tantrum until you have sufficient funds to purchase one of the others.

I've been using Xenon 12DVC's for a while now and they are great.  I've been thinking about getting rid of my Titanium amps for a couple Xenons, but after reading these posts perhaps I should keep them...

Keep the titanium amps, but upgrade to the titanium subs. Match the set out with the highest quality equipment, don't settle for a step down.

He's right, keep the ti amps as they're not made anymore. They are also highly collectible items, much like PG short live "Frank-amp-en-stein" or the Reactors.
The Xenon amps are solid gold and the second run of them has been released with many improvements over the first run. The Xenons are so underprice it's not even funny. I got my X400.1 for $250 and it should have cost at least $400. PG is trying to give the series a "shot in the ass" by selling them at a lower price than they're worth so people will jump on the boat with them.
