Guess you are looking the ads at SGSound. Anyway Genesis amps are great amps and they will be more than enough to drive your CDT CL62. As for street price. I am not sure.

[Kieran1975]

Looking for warmer and clearer sound from my front CDT CL62 speaker and not sure is it the right amp for it.

[Protege]

Amplifiers do play a part. But the main sounding characteristic comes from the speakers. Genesis is a good amp which should give warmer soundng to the CDT CL62.

[Protege]

In my opinion, the Genesis may cost much more than the CDT CL62. Its a good choice as you can match a better component speakers to it next time if you want to upgrade!

Pls give me some comment on my ICE setup(passive)

 

HU:Clarion WXZ466MP

Rear: Lanzar 2way coxial

AMP: Firefox 2 channel 180Watt for CDT

Sub: Pioneer TS-WX22A Active Subwoofer 150 watt

Soundproof: 2 layers front & rear doors

 

AMP will be going for upgrading soon......

[Kieran1975]

The price for the Genesis amp is 2X more than my CDT speaker.....

 

Not sure whether is it a over kill to get this AMP to drive my CDT...

[Protege]

It can be considered an overkill. But if you plan to upgrade your CDT in the future, its a good amp.

[Kieran1975]

Upgrading for my CDT likely not going to be happen for the next 2 year ....

 

So any good and cheap recommendation AMP to match my CDT CL62 .....

[Protege]

To me, its always good to invest in a good amp. If not, look out for the lower end Rockford amp or Alpine amps.

I using a Cadence 4 X 74w at 4 ohm amp to drive my CDT CL62.

I only use 2 channel to drive it passive. I put it in the rear for rear fill. The mid is very clear and good. Wise choice. But the tweeter lose out. I tune it higher and sharper with PX701, it sound a bit tired. I wonder how it sound if I do it active in front. Is it worth the effort?

 

2 X 75w is enuf for normal listening. BUt Genesis is definitely an overkill for the price. And I fear its not power enuf in term of wattage when u wish to hear decent deep bass. Genesis is SQ amp. CDT is not so SQ. It can produce very decent bass too if given enuf power amp. So your bass may not sound as deep or full with Genesis. I suggest u buy cheaper 4 X 100w or 4 X 125w amp. Since 75w is actually underpowering. But nevertheless its enuf for normal listening. Just that u wasting money so ex 2 channel amp. Wih same money can buy 4 channel amp good for future if you plan to drive it active.

Spot on abt CDT. I find it much clearer on my Rainbow tag team with Genesis P2

[Xiaogary]

Bcos rainbow is not that power hungry comapared to CDT. The nominal rms wattage required for rainbow is lesser than CDT. So the matching of rainbow and Genesis P2 is better.

 

A speaker and amp is only how good they are mixed and matched. U buy a very good amp and very good speaker, but their power doesnt match also no use.

[Kieran1975]

Hi Xiaogary ,

 

So which AMP will you recommend to match my CDT CL62?

 

You input will be appreciated.....

 

Thanks......

[Kieran1975]

Which model of Rainbow speaker are you using? how much is the damage?

 

So Rainbow is better with Genesis Amp?
