Zed Audio Amps

[Harveynorman]

Any bros familiar with Zed Audio Amps? Not the amps that they manufactured for other brands but their own series like the deuce or Gladius. Able to get these amps locally?

I have used them before, i.e. the Deuce 200w/ch and Minilith mono. Was brought in by Slonez about two years back. Now the Deuce and Minilith are residing in some other bros car. Dun think you can get it locally but you can ship in your own including upgrading them to Burr Brown chip.

Hi Bro sarong. How do u find these amps? in terms of sonic characteristics and bulid quality? Is the 200rms overall rated at high volt? How did it sound like when u paired it with your focals? P.s. Did i see ure amp in issue 1 of our local mag? ure valuable comments much appreciated

[Sarong1]

Yes you are right, it did appear in that mag. I first drove my Focal 165KF passively with the Duece before using it solely to drive the midbass in my 3-way active setup. The 200W per ch was stated as continuous power output into 4 ohms, in fact, lab tests have shown that it was in fact capable of at least 240W per ch. Moreover, The Deuce has TEN 100 watt output transistors per channel.

 

Sonically, the amp is typically of a U.S. made amp, it promises high energy drive and is fast. It is detailed and quite analytical. Classical sounded fantastic with The Deuce. The most important impression it left me was the energy on the cymbals and vocals, I must say that until today, no other amp has left me with the kinda transcience and energy other than The Deuce. I think you can't really find a 200w/ch amp at such a price as The Duece in the market, and we are talking about quality wattage. The amp is now residing in Bro Kermit's ride driving his 7 inch Scanspeak actively and he is one guy that likes the punch & drive from the midbass.

Thanks bro

No problem, just go through the normal shipping transaction for the amp. Remember to upgrade them before getting them back to S'pore. Enjoy...

the CDT Audio amps are identical to the Zed amps, maybe the CDT agent brings them in?

[Harveynorman]

Hi bro the CDTs amps are made by Zed audio for CDT.
