solid sound at lower volumes

bgordoo from Ohio

I like the sound quality created by this amp at lower and mid volume levels but it is definitly lacking on the stero high output side. Not as much power in stero as I expected at full volume. You do not have to worry about blowing out your speakers

I received this amplifier from UPS in the evening and connected it to my system after supper. I was up all night with it, amazed at the quiet but powerful, "live" sound. I used it for hours at low levels, ie, less than a watt and noticed no hint of distortion or muddyness, noise, etc. High power was just as good. I'm very pleased with this amplifier, glad I purchased it, happier yet with the price.

I installed this in a church building (no music, voice only) and worked like a champ! The only drawback to this amp is lack of Speakon connectors. Otherwise, good amp!
