A800 : Best bang for your buck by miles.

The A800 has an attractive shiny black metallic finish on the fascia that looks attractive and doesn't seem to collect a lot of dust. I like that the gain controls are notched, it really helps to get a well balanced gain.

As someone who doesn't work in the trade I'd never considered a pro amp before because I naively assumed they were mostly all about watts with little concern for sound quality. However, after reading the technical measurements and recommendation on the audio science review website. I bit the bullet and bought this. Of course I I wasn't disappointed, It sounds every bit as good as my previous "hifi" amp costing four times as much. The A800 has a nice flat frequency response so it won't grate on you with extended listening. Has more than enough power for domestic use which guarantees it will always sound dynamic even when litening at more than tolerable levels.

If I was being really picky I would say it would be nice to be able to remove the rack mounts for domestic use but that's not it's target audience and as such not really a valid complaint.

Amazing what you can get for so little money these days.

Two thumbs up!!
