Review Audiokraftwerk KW 4150 + KW 4V8: In this complete version we tested the KW 4150, because the two units together make for a truly great team. While the amplifier concentrated only on the amplification of the signals, the preamplifier box managed everything else - and that is a lot ... In terms of control comfort and equipment virtually no wish is left unfulfilled! The excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 97 dB is beneficial in that all the filters are external and thereby do not load the signal path of the amplifier ... With 56 amps maximum-current input in the 2-ohm-modus und a hefty efficiency of 70.9 percent during maximum power, the amplifier earned itself great praise ... In the listening test, the Rainbow amplifier showed itself to be sound-wise as well at a healthy level. In the bass range the four-channeller made taut and voluminous music beautifully, without laying it on too thick, however ... Result: The equipment and, above all, the practical control concept of the KW 4150 sets are outstanding. An interesting package of amplifier and preamplifier!

Very nice!

1K @ 1Ohm. Dunno how theyre getting some of these peak numbers...

AscendantMax 07-25-2006 07:16 PM

can you PM me a pricing on that one...?

AscendantMax 07-25-2006 08:24 PM

djfrestyl 07-25-2006 09:04 PM

I wish they matched :(

Pearl96Max 07-25-2006 09:06 PM

They couldve, but you said nope...

djfrestyl 07-25-2006 09:07 PM

They don't...4150 looks different than the 2kw

Pearl96Max 07-25-2006 09:08 PM

ok, lemme explain..

"couldve" means Could Have. If you just used 2 4150s.

djfrestyl 07-25-2006 09:09 PM

Ah well, I'll just wait for the other beauties :D :D

Pearl96Max 07-25-2006 09:13 PM

Im glad you are. While Manny and I thought this was going to be a Great surprise, My attempt apparently failed. Its all good.

BTW...two weeks on those, but thats just todays word.

djfrestyl 07-25-2006 09:14 PM

I appreciate the effort, kind sir.

No problems, I'm patient.

AscendantMax 07-25-2006 09:15 PM

not too fond of the red Kreftwerk on the top. :slant:

Pearl96Max 07-25-2006 09:17 PM

Me niether, but eh I can deal with cosmetics. Although I do like the top mounted controls..

AscendantMax 07-25-2006 09:19 PM

yeah, top mount controls are nice. it was a b*tch tuning my two arcs the way i have the amps mounted.

Pearl96Max 07-25-2006 09:21 PM

Im lovin mine now, so easy to adjust. :)

Jay_Alix 07-26-2006 03:02 AM

might be a dumb question... but with the seperate pre-amp, it has gain controls, so does this mean the main amp has a fixed input or is there a gain there as well, and with remote pre amp the one on the amp isn't used?

mendon99 07-26-2006 04:00 AM

oh, wasn't aware the pics were on the site.

yeah i love the way the controls are mounted on the front face too, best feature.

nismos14 07-26-2006 05:12 AM

Don, gonna swap some SE's for these? :p


Hmm maybe I should sell my xxk and get a 4150+controller.......... eh...

KUBLKMAX 07-26-2006 01:48 PM

Sounds appealing and they look sexy but I think I will stick with my xxk's unless they are just as efficient and something special happens to land them in my trunk!:chuckle:

AscendantMax 08-10-2006 07:06 PM

More pics of the amps :D

AscendantMax 08-10-2006 07:11 PM

Guess I'll post my initial thoughts here as well.

The amps are much better looking in person IMO. Of the two, I like the monoblock better. It just feels much more solid than the 4 channel (not to mention it was a pain removing the 4 channel's cover to show the internals). The top mount controls on the monoblock is a nice touch. So, overall, I'm quite pleased on how they look and feel. Now to hook these suckers up... :D

D-Bo 08-10-2006 11:37 PM

nice pics
