I'm surprised that Xtant has been virtually non-existant in these forums. Any reason why no one recommends them? Not any good, or just no one has any experience with them?

I had to make a choice a year or so back between getting a JL Audio 1000/1 or an Xtant amp (same wattage, not sure of the model number). They were the same price from the dealer. I chose the JL Audio amp (mainly to go with my JL Audio subs, and because I liked the looks and features of the JL amp). I still haven't hooked it up yet lol.

I am mainly just curious as to what people's opinions are about Xtant.

i herd xstant is pretty good, but as a personal choice, i would go with jl. Jl is a little overpriced, but i have had no problems finding great used equinment outthere.

If you're thinking about sitting on that amp for another year, Paradigm......I would be glad to keep it warm for you! Just send it over. I'll pay shipping. lol

hahaha yeah, had too many other priorities to get my install going. Got 90% of the gear/wiring/etc., box is done, just need a ho alt and time. Which is going to be in even shorter supply once the twins are born (wife and I are having twins, woohoo!)...
