Hi I bought this power amp second hand as I wanted a 2 channel power amp to bi amp my bass guitar. The amp has worked flawlessly and I am very pleased with it. Along with the crossover in my bass preamp, there is lots of control as, the power map offers a subwoofer and low cut filter from 25Hz to 125Hz. The fan in this model is pretty quite and only operates when it is needed, that is, when the amp goes over 50C, the fan speed varies automatically as the temperature changes. The power amp sounds musical and I dont consider it to be colouring the sound in any way. I have used it during many live gigs, it has never let me down. Well constructed and thought out. Looks and style a matter of taste but well finished none the less. Very good value and well worth consideration in my opinion.
