Zapco Amplifier Suggestions
I am currently considering whether I want to go with the Zapco line. A search didn't yield much in the way of opinion on the line other than that they are good.
Here is what I have now:
JL 450/4 driving Boston Acoustics 6.5.3 up front and Boston Acoustics Z6 in the rear
JL 1000/1 driving a JL 12w7 sub.
Does anyone with experience with Zapco have an opinion on whether this would be an upgrade over my JLs and which series and model I should go with? Or if I should do it to begin with.
My initial impression is what IF I do this I should go with the DC1000.4 for the speakers and the 1100.1 for the subs.
Constructive observation and comments are greatly appreciated.

I don't know much about the current Zapco stuff, but I know they used to make some pretty slick equipment. I don't know if it's worth ditching your JL stuff for them though, any reason why you're wanting off the JL bandwagon? I guess it really all depends on what you're trying to accomplish by switching.

Mostly thinking in terms of is it an upgrade? I'm by no means unhappy with the JL amps, quite the contrary. I won a SQ competition with them. I suppose it's just a matter of wanting the best equipment possible. No different than making comparisons between RB struts and MS struts in that regard. Thanks for asking.

well...
You would only notice a difference in sound quality with the Zapco running your high end. They are a cleaner amp. The JL is more of a power amp, but compared to other power amps, they are pretty clean. I have used both and have been happy with both. I also sold zapco for 10 years and JL. Can't go wrong with either.
