Harry, I sure would think twice before going for the H X model because in
that one you don't get the tuner and it is very costly to get the big supply
to run for two hundred watts. If like Steve says or Butch you really have
to balance the two supplies if your using normal available supplies. Good
luck on your choice. With the H X it only gives you three D B of increase.
