although much cheaper, it blows more expensive equipment away. I use it to power an agular 4x12.
never fails.

  Awesome Amp

This amp is the best I have ever owned. I use it to power two Yamaha BR12-M's and the speakers and amp blew me away. I would recommend this amp to anyone who wants a solid amp at a rock bottom price.

We got this amp to power two Yamaha SM10V's, which are run on separate channels. In our relatively small auditorium (seats ~500, tightly), it provides _plenty_ of power - enough that we try to keep it locked up to prevent anyone from [intentionally or otherwise] turning the level controls more than 1/8th of the way up. ;-)

The sound quality seems to be very good for the price, though I can't really compare it with anything else that's more expensive. However, the fans are _extremely_ loud (relative to every other 80mm fan that I've heard). You will _not_ want this amp anywhere near the mixing location - or anywhere in the room, for that matter - in a H.O.W. environment, or any other situation where background noise needs to be kept to a minimum.
