If you don't have the amp yet you might check out the TnT 350 built by X-Force. Hand built and tuned, and it will spank a Texas Star. Or get with a member named Yota. He is working on building remakes of the old Joker amplifiers. They have regulated class AB biasing. A Texas Star is for sure a step above Palomar, RM, Boomer, but there is better out there.
