When i saw the the spec of this amp i was so over the moon i just needed to get it. I thought all of this for this amount of money no way what a true bargain indeed.
So with out a second thought i purchased it and this is why i am writing this review for the ciao users so they can have that second thought.
Any way I brought it home and got my mate to set it all up as he knows what he doing with this sort of equipment. i started checking out all the differnt features i felt as if i was a kid with a new toy that was how much excitment.
The system towerd over the room just like how i wanted it to with my cd player on top of it.
the amp was working perfectley and the quality i was just amazing specially with the A class mode feature. Plus with the power of 90 watts per channel the amp shown no signs of struggling.
i found the tone controls of being able to change the bass and the treble to preicley how i want to a great adavantage i had my music sounding close to perfect but then i realised if you use the source direct feature you could inhance the quality even further.
But this is where everything went from great to extremly bad for me. I found out to my greatest of worries that using th A class mode overheated the amp to a unstable amount if kept on for to long. within a month and a half the amp siezd up.
so in a panic i got the instuction manual to see a load of warning signs about the amp overheating and how you must not put any thing on top of the amp within 2 metres of it and as my cdplayer was resting on top of it i soon found out why my amp had died on me so soon. it also says not to touch the top panel of the amp whilst the amp is turned on.
I sent the amp back to the store i got it from and there was more then happy to replace it thank god for that. these days i have my amp sitting on top of my cd player it looks a bit stupid now but at least it doesent over heat like it did and i am very wary of using the A class mode for long periods of time. but apart from this few faults i still love my amp and still think it was a great purchase for the money.
I would recomend this amp to any body that likes theer music to sound the way they want it to as the tone controls and other features do help alot to achieve this.
thanks for reading my review from chris.

Hello there, i think you focused to much on your personal experience. Maybe next time you should try giving some more details about the spec ect, but still, a good review. Good luck!
Advantages: Amazingly clear sound (especially so in Class A), well built Disadvantages: Very heavy, maybe not visually to some peoples tastes, can get hot in Class A
