I can get a GREAT deal on a Lanzar amp. Anyone recommend?

how cheap and what are you aiming for with your system?

Even the newer Lanzar Opti's are iffy.

Older Zed-made ones are right-on...


Anything else, I'd stay the hell away.

[cam2Xrunner]

Yeah man, what model, and what kind of deal? I bet I can find a better deal

What about Phoenix Gold Octane?

Sure hope you haven't bought anything yet...

Shamoon, if you want i can post up a WTB: Ad at Elitecaraudio.com and see what kind of offers people throw out.

Let me know.

Otherwise, if you want PG, look for the Tantrum lineup, or the Titanium, or even Xenon, lineup, the Octane's aren't the best amps they offer for the $

Old Phoenix Gold XS is pretty affordable on eBay (if you don't mind that) and you'll occasionally stumble across some NOS (new old stock). The Tantrum series, like Rob mentioned, is also VERY good for the price right now (underrated performance)...

What're you looking for exactly? A complete system?

Is Lanzar still owned by Pyramid?

I have an old (from 1994) Lanzar Opti Drive Plus 100Q with a burnt out power supply section.

Their old stuff is good. Not sure about their latest stuff though.

I hate these people that start arguements that Pheonix Gold is high end.. oh cant forget eclipse as well. eclipse makes decent amps, but i would not call them high end.

if you dont care about a guarrantee, id check out ebay. but do shop around, because you can find factory warranted items cheaper than ebay online.

Who was arguing? Phoenix Gold does make some very nice stuff. I would consider many of their amps[older] ranked next to Zapco's, Arc, and other high end amps.
Their new stuff isn't my style, but their older MS series amps are some of the best amps out there. Tantrum 2 channel amps are Class AB and stable to 2 ohms mono, not alot of amps can do that. I'd run a full Tantrum amp setup any day.

i was leaning towards their low end stuff, probably should have mentioned that

dont get me wrong, they make good eq's and amps
