Thoughts on Ampere Audio's new 8.0 tfe amp

I'm just trying to figure out how any amp is rated ever. Are they built then it's decided OR is it designed as a specific power level.

And amp is enginereed for a specific power rating, after building a prototype they get tested to see how they perform.

After this testing is complete, they either re engineer the amp to fit their specifications or just downrate them based on the measurements.(Last option is for cheap companies)

Thinking is the root of all problems...

You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Right now these are probably on my short list price depending. I also need to get out and measure to make sure they'll fit

So far my impressions of mine are.........I love it,if I could have sex with it I would......puts out a shit ton more power than my dc 7.5k and is built like a tank.ive been beating on mine for almost a month and it hasn't protected once.gets only alittle warm after extended hours of play (1.5-2hrs straight no breaks) but that's it. I'm also wired at .5 with not best electrical to feed it (Dc power 320sp ,1g34 up front 2 g31s in back) lucky for me this thing makes power down low .but it keeps on keeping on with no issues.

Figured I'd give another update about this beast...I've Been beating on mine since December wired at .5 the whole time and for about the past month and a half had the proper electrical to feed it ( added a JB lithium Batt) and I'm still in love with it.before I added the lithium voltage full tilt would drop to about 11.9 then 11.6 about 30-45s in and it ran alittle warm but was still putting out power.now it has the lithium feeding it too,never drops below 12.8 full tilt and only gets that low after about 4-5 songs back to back usually hovers around 13.1.its a MUCH happier beast now and puts out a ton of power.so far this is my favorite amp I've owned and I've owned ALOT of amps in my time.anybody who's gotten a demo will agree :-)
