My opinion if you're going the Zapco route is to get the DC Reference series as the processing capabilities of those amps put them in a class of their own.

 

Full range use of class D amps is still relatively new when compared to using AB amps. I haven't studied the design changes made when coming up with a full range class D, but class AB has been used forever now full range, and with so many options out there I would probably go that directions... not saying that its necessarily better than full range D, but you do know what you're getting.
All that being said, I don't have any personal experience with class D amps for full range use, just going with my gut.

 

I agree, but I have an Audio Control EQX that I am installing. I was unaware of the DC Ref. Series when I mentioned that I wanted an EQX for my birthday, so yes even though I'm turning 27, my parents still buy me that kind of stuff... I figure that with both devices I should be good to go, and still be out less money than if I went with just one DC Ref 200.2. It's not the money per se, it's just that I am not sure I would get much more bang for the buck.

Zapco makes some killer stuff, I just installed the 200.2 in my system to see what it sounded like, and it brought my Mids to life, class D's might have come a long way, but that AB is killer... Just my .02.

 

I get ya now! Having installed several Alpine PDX amps and owning a set of Eclipse XA amps, I can confidently say that this technology is definitely a contender in the mid-fi realm (where 85% of the consumer market is).

will give plenty of power to your front stage and give enough to drive the 10W0 in channels 3/4 bridged. Its a killer amp.
