Just after some ideas of a nice SQ amp to run my front stage Focal 165W3

These would like at least 100WRMS each???
Mr_Bob
you'll want more than 100WRMS.

VRx2.250 (180WRMS, 2.150 does 110WRMS)
JL300/4 (232WRMS per side when bridged, that's what i'm runing now)
US amps 2000
PG Ti600.2 (150WRMS per side)
PG Ti500.4 (250WRMS per side when bridged)
butler tube driver (not sure)
tru tech c7.2T
any soundstream with enough power

that should get you started.
Soundwerks
To add to Mr_Bob's excellent list...

DLS Ultimate A3 "Twin Mono"
US Amps TU-600
McIntosh
Xtant

Paul
Marlin
XC2 or XC3
STIK79
Could always get a zapco (could even work out half cheap if you dodge the customs man )

I'm running 165w3's off an alpine MRV-1507, not the best setup but they sound pretty good.

Soon i'll be dedicating both my 1507's for the splits and eventually be trading them in for an Audison Vrx2.250, but that's WAAAAAAAAAY off...

What is the RRP of the:
VRx 2.250
VRx 2.400
VRx 1.500

Slightly OT but RRP of
Adire Brahma 12'

Mr_Bob, looking in you direction
Rockin
An Adire Brahma 12 should be around $960 delivered.
Rmyers
the VRX 1.500 is $2000 for the blue finish, add about $1000 for shadow chrome, that's all I know of the top of my head...

JL 300/4, thats what I am running with my Focal 165w's as well. They are a great amp.
