GD/Preorder Rainbow iPauls?

Theyre finally done and shipping from Germany. Anyone ready to get in line for the first runs to hit US soil?

Nevermind. I looked it up. Looks hella nice though. I'm thinking about upgrading my current amp to 4ch and a mono.

How much is it done?

I'm guessing they'll be pricey, but what about the early ones to get some reviews, I'll gladly throw one in.... fa free

Wow, they look awesome. Why did I have to quit my semi lucrative job to go back to school and be broke.

If pricey means well under 400, then yes.

Those I-Pauls are sharp. I'm definitely interested in exploring these a bit more.

How would you compare them to the KW's, more specifically the 4.300 v. 4150? We talking better here?

If I read the description correctly, it looks like the IPaul has a fan cooling system, which is a big bonus for me. They also mentioned something about a remote control. Is it a free standing remote or is there a cable that needs to be attached to it?

Honestly though, I'm still not sure how to go about amping my system yet. My indecision with which way to go: a 4ch + mono setup or simplify the install and go straight up with 6 channel, (say the Audison 6.9) has me going circles.

4.300 bridged (2 x 270) seems like it could be silly good though. Think that will be a little too much overhead for the Profi kicks I have or will it be a no worries match made in heaven kinda thing? Also, does it have a 12db 80hz high pass for the kicks?

Sorry for the bombardment of Q's, but I'm dying to get an amp soon.

Thanks

Where do you suppose the best place for a wired remote to go? Arm rest or glove box?

True, true. Figured some of the chaps might like to know more about them too. See if we can reflect some interest in a GD.

Anyway.....I'll give you a call soon, right after my nap.

Curious, what is your too late to call time?

Okie.

Too late? About an hr from now. Ive been working since 5am.

Technically speaking the Kraftwerks are supposed to be the higher line amplifiers. Feature/size and cosmetically I see it Alot differently than that. Both will do rated power, but the iPauls have on board controls including bandpass. The KWs have nothing (no, not even gain) without the KV units..

Since 5am, good gracious. Tomorrow or sometime this week then. Get some rest hommie!

So with cosmetics and adjustability going to the iPaul, and the higher line tag going to the KW's, is there a discernible difference between cleanliness of sound?
