Hi all; new to PMCs, so I don't have a huge sample-size...with regard to different amps pairing well. But I have to say...my new FB1i seem to really take to a pair of Wyred SX-500 monos I'm trying.

I don't know if it's the sweet VTL 2.5 tube pre-amp feeding them, or the FB1i (or a combination); but I've flirted with class-D before, and it always left me wanting. Technically fine...but dead-sounding; no life, no character, no "jump" to it.

IDK; I've been reading lately, class-D really needs to be fed well (and for me, that means a pre that has some life and character of its own...to balance-out the ruler-flat nature of class-D). But these FB1i seem to drink-in all that power. 28Hz response, is remarkable IMO...for a 6.5" 2-way; and the W4S really control that bass. Always sounds natural, and unstrained.
