Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet?

If I want entertainment I'll see a show or listen to music not throw money into things that are not worthy of endorsement!

Sean-Others have written to me concerning this thread that has been much talked about. I try to be unbiased ,but after reading a few of the post I have to side with some of the negative opinions concerning the way that D911 (Dan) had gone about promoting the mods.

I just cannot see how buying a $200 Pro Amp then having it Modded for $500 is going to produce a SOTA amp.

There are notable amps costing less that are worth checking out is my point. Weather or not A-GOn or the other sites are against his tactics are not a concern to me,but there are other options available to the consumer.

I do not think you are a fool for buying it,though you have to judge weather or not having it modded might be worth it.For $200 there is not more out there as an alternative.A used B&K ST-140, Outlaws new Monoblocks($600?) or the LeAmpII's($400).For me the latter was what I was looking for.

I try to look for value and it might be totally or more than worth $200.bottomline is are you happy?

Dan might have handled things differently.

SEAN:
The concerns that you have given above are the exact reason I chose to try the new LeAmpII's.
At $400 for a pair of Monoblocks they are worth the chance to see what they can do!

From all indications they should be the best at that price level.They might be the best affordable amps since the days of the B&K ST Series came out.

They might not be Krells or ML's ,but they surely cannot be that bad considering the Build quality and specs given!

Regards,ABEX!

It really does not look like a bad amp,Internally speaking. Will do further research into parts quality and read feedback on it!

Other contenders are the Samson,AKSA and LeAmpII's.All are noteworthy in the eyes and ears of others.
Synergy is another factor that has to be weighed in.
