I bet you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two, given they produced the same power output, so either will do as 25 watts is fairly insignificant.

Look into a better quality amp for your highs... RFis NOT good on highs, very shrill and raspy sounding, and the Autotek is only marginally better from my recollection...

Eclipse, Zapco, Nakamichi... ANY of those would be better choices for highs...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Zed Audio makes some pretty good SQ amps for a budget. He also makes the Nakamichi amps and made the old school Hifonics amps.

Stephen Mantz is DA MAN when it comes to amps.
