The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt

For $169 bucks each, I will forgive them for no customer service.

I spent more than that insuring and shipping my Mark Levinson amp back for repairs.

In the meantime, my Behringer stuff sounds better and better, and seems to be working just fine.

Cwlondon: Its good news to know your Behringer stuff " sounds better and better ". I'm with you ... For what you get for $169 they can be forgiven for no customer service /response. I'll "bank" the difference @ the Bank.

Readers , just a FYI: The two Berringer A-500s continue in my possession and operate flawlessly. They are to me the Dirt Kings @ up to 500 W mono per side that is highly regulated wattage that can be easily adjusted from 0-500W. I believe they now retail @ $269 per side but can be found discounted over the internet. Absolutely not SOTA but not so bad a runner in the race , considering they work with most panels and drivers on the market. All The Best

Don't take my word go to the "Audio Critic" web site for a full review

Great, Peter Aczel loves this cheap amplifier! Too bad Mr. Aczel is deaf.

D: Tisch , tisch may you live to be as old as Mr. Aczel.

To distill Mr. Aczel's review , the A-500's are pretty good. Cheap and inexpensive have different meanings. These inexpensive amps deliver far more technology than the retail price reflects. For someone on a budget that wants 0-500W Mono Blocks , these amps deliver or at least these two do.

As spring comes in my part of the US of A, I turn off my tubes (too hot) and rely on solid state for a few months. I counld care less should Peter has a hearing problem of not, the A-500's handel the job for my summer months and any other time. Oh, D have a little more respect for your elders. Soon enought your hearing will be abuzz with age.
