both amps are good but the PG does a better job than arc audio. the PG amp provides good clean sound and is manufactured very well

A friend of mine is running a set of Focal Utopias off a Brax amp an single IDMAX 12 off an Arc Audio. It's an absolutely amazing sounding system.

ur speakers

great speakers, as for the amp i would recoment a 100x2 or 150x2..........US Amps is great, Zapco Z600 wich will run you about 600, brax, arc, and soundstream are great sq amps. look for low thd and low dampening. good luck amigo

I have heard the utopias on a Tube Driver BLUE amp and I practically creamed myself. As for me, I am running my CDT's off of a TUBE DRIVER as well. And my subs are run off 2 Soundstream 1002's.
