I love and hate the Vortechs. They are awesome with the controlability you have with them when you are using more than one. They're sleek looking and quite small. But i've had issues with a few of them and had to have them replaced on warrranty and yes they are loud. If I could use them in my new setup I would. I had to trade all 4 of them them for Tunzes. I was running 2 MP40s and a MP10 in my display. They've been replaced with 2 6105's. I have'nt played with the control option yet but it looks like just those 2 were pushing alot more water than the Vortechs did. There is also a sound coming from the motor in one of them when it ramps down. Is this normal?

Running mp40 and love it , have never had to replace the wet side and at 50-70% I can't hear it

Have the wps at work and while they are a great price and move water they ain't no vortech lol hell trying to sync 2 together is impossible especislly on wave they fight each other would be nice if they were wireless and worked in sync.

Tunzes are great just wish they were smaller footprint

At the end of the day if pushing water is all you require there's alot more options then just these brands
