As you can see from other reviews, these have gotten some poor reviews for reliability. I decided to buy a 5-yr replacement warranty for $20. Very solidly built amplifier that can be used in stereo or bridged mode.Offers speaker-level inputs in addition to the usual line-level.Sounds good to me and others have commended Audiosource for their nice bang-for-the-buck value.I bought this on sale for $129.99. With tax, the whole package was $160 for a powerful versatile amp that sounds good and I have 5-yr peace-of-mind.Would recommend this amp for those on a budget - I believe it would enhance the sound of anything with a mid-to-lower end receiver who wants more driving power for their speakers.
I wasn't sure what to expect with the Amp 300. Maybe the first one's off the production line has issues. Especially when it comes to audio equipment.I have owned AudioSource products in the distant past. the result was spectacular. As you can imagine. I found the quality of manufacture to be flawless. adding the two AudioSource amps along with a Kenwood Amp and Preamp, in addition to a Yamaha Sound Processor.
The sound pressure levels that are possible are just incredible. Originally, my intent was to keep one and sell one. The clarity. it's exactly what you want. the tone quality. In fact, I completely gutted my entertainment system. I realize that different people will always have different opinions about products.
but, I ended up using both. but, I found it on sale at Fry's for $149 and couldn't pass it up. I bought two of them. all I can say is that I'm very happy with the equipment and will be looking forward to years of enjoyment.
The speaker cable should never never be short. You will kill any Power Amp by shorting the speaker cable. The Amp is so powerful output. This equipement is very professional. If anyone handles it carelessly, it will not work anymore. You can picture it if the cable is short.
sorry to hear about the problems other people have had with this amp. I have had mine for 3 years I use it bridged as a 500 watt mono blocksub woofer amp. Wow. It sounds great and powers my Sub no problem.Any amp comparable to this would cost at least 3x this.I do keep it well ventilated (nothing on it or next to it)and power it offwith a power strip when not in use.
It seems to me that Audio Source does not have any quality control and does not check their items before sending them out. Seems there are a lot of bad units.
Not good. I am returning this unit for a refund and will not try another Amp300 after this experience and considering all the other bad reviews.
I was hesitant on purchasing this Amp300 after all the bad reviews but I have an Amp 100 that I have liked for 1yr now with no problems. Weird thing is Audio Source told me they fixed the problems with Amp300 before I purchased.
After opening the Amp300 and hooking it up, no sound - DOA. I tried multiple inputs and phone call with Audio Source.
I beg to differ.
