Thanks for the input.

I had JL amps before the soundstreams. And I ran JL amps for about 8 years. I love JL amps and how they sound, but you won't be disappointed with the Reference amps. I looked up the specs for them before I bought them of course. I think you would be plenty pleased with them. I have the Reference amps for my components, but I have a Rubicon for my woofers.

The only downside to those 2 amps would be their size - they look huge (9.9" x 20.5" and 9.9" x 18"). .

Yes, they're back from making the crap they did for a few years there. And I think the reason they are so affordable right now is because they're breaking their last few years of bad press. Pioneer was the same way in case anyone can't remember. They made cheap crap for years, and now people are starting to buy a lot of their stuff again. Kenwood. Alpine. Even JL had a bunch of amps that were really prone to burned up power supplies when the slash series was released. All of them have had cycles of bad equipment

Why not? Have you listened to something amped by one recently?
