Not that long ago. It's supposed to be the SAZ-1500's replacement. |

It's really supposed to be its replacement? It seems to me there would be a market for both of those? |

I thought they come out with a newer SAZ-1500D not to long ago. |

I remember reading on SSA that the 1200D was going to replace the 1500, but that was quite a while ago. I emailed Jacob and I'll post his response when I receive it. |

IIRC, the SAE's are basicly daily amps build to 'normal' spec...good power for the price.
And the SAZ's are overbuild (aka, <1ohm stable)
could be totally wrong though. |

JD - The newer 1500D came out months ago. It has a thicker heatsink to dispense more heat. Doubt it's much of a difference though as they run cool as it is.

The SAE-1200D is not the replacement to the SAZ-1500D. They are two different lines that come from two different build houses. The SAE-1200D will do close to if not more then 1500 watts, Jacob did a number of tests showing the wattage.
To expand on what Canaan said, the SAE-1200D is not meant to be stable or handle below 1ohm like the SAZ-1500D can, or meant to handle 17volts like the SAZ-1500D can.
From recent discussions with Jacob and what he has mentioned on SSA, the SAZ-1500D will hang around longer then expected as it is still very popular and a competitor favorite. The SAZ-2000D is in testing and will make an appearance sometime next year if I remember correctly.
There are plans for larger and smaller SAE models too. |

Here's an email I got from Jacob:
"The SAZ-1500D is going to remain for sale for some time still - it is remaining very popular.
We will continue offering the SAZ-1500D as long as it remains a strong seller. I expect that the SAE-1200D will gain quite a bit of popularity and eventually push down SAZ-1500D sales, though." |
