    Definitely the Polk. And not because this is a Polk forum either.

    The Polk has a superb crossover network that the Xenon doesnt have.

    Also the Xenon is fully regulated which I dont like cause you get the same 100 watts at all voltages, loads and music demands. I prefer the headroom of an unregulated amp such as the Polk.

    Also, the Polk has outstanding build quality. The PG is very well built as well, but I trust the Polk a little more.
