The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt

Happy: I did review the 6 moons article , the Glow One @ $488 per side isn't bad @ 5w. The A-500's are solid state, adjustable output @ up to 500w 8 ohms per side , thats 1000w total, stable on loads @ 2 ohms and when I purchased them including an exrea 2 years of warranty, $194 each delivered.

So far, I think +/- 18 months.

I have never had a problem, and never turned them off - other than once in a while when they have suffered a power outage which is more than average where we live.

Periodic outages and/or surges have also not affected them, perhaps more evidence that they are more robust than the price tag would suggest.

They do have a cheesey plastic front panel and volume knobs, but otherwise seem heavier and better built than I would have expected.

I continue to believe that the most vocal detractors of these amps must be dealers of overpriced, struggling brands.

Enjoy the dirt,

Dirt Lovers: Soon, I intend to hook up two A500's directly to a Oppo DV-970 HD ( $577.00 total investment) connecting them to the Nova Evolution III Speakers ($39,500.00 the last time I checked). I'll keep you informed should that combo comes close to the Big Rig.

Crem1,
I am very curious to hear from you on that combo?
