I know that everyone loved hifonics when it was still owned by zed audio.

so my question is, is ZED audio still an industry leader? do they still produce high quaility items? Here is a link to their website http://zedaudio.com/products.html

Im looking at the "Gladius" how would you rate this amp? (for running a set of apline type x compents, or something of the like)

 

well, an industry leader? not so much when it comes to sales, but steve still builds a great amp. Beware of the size and weight however - they are built like tanks! Heavier and larger than you would think

 

haha heavy is fine, im not looking to have a race car but as far as SQ goes, what would you rate them on a 1-10?

They didn't "sell" there Hifonics label. He designed amps for this company along with others Rodeck, Autotek and a few others. If you have ever talked to the guy is somewhat of an a$$. But he designs good amplifiers. I dont think you will be dissapointed.

 

If his amps are reliable and made to last a lifetime, than the price is worth it IMO.

I think i will order one when i get back from my vacation. i will post up some pics of the final product, and my opinion of it.

 

his new amps look almost identicle inside to my hifonics series VIII. im sure the quality is top notch. and the prices on his site are dirt cheap compared to what hifonics used to cost. i say go for it.
