AudioSource AMP100 Stereo Power Amplifier

Comments about AudioSource AMP100 Stereo Power Amplifier:

I purchased one of these amps to power a pair of outdoor loudspeakers over my patio and now purchased another one to power a second pair of outdoor loudspeakers for my hot tub area. The amps have both been very reliable. Sturdy contstruction and handy line in/out to be able to daisy chain the signal input to both amps. For the purpose I use them for, they have been great.

This amp was a great buy. I've used it connected to my Imac. Not too big to fit on a decent sized computer desk, and doesn't run extremely hot either. Simple setup, simple controls. Does what it is supposed to do- provide power to my speakers without any issues. Sounds great too.

This amp has a handsome appearance; it appears well-constructed with banana connectors and silky controls. It is certainly not difficult to set up and even offers selectable A/B speaker outputs. It is also compact and produces relatively little heat. I'm hearing new detail in music I know well and have not heard before. In other words, the sound quality seems very good. The worst part is simply finding a piece of equipment like this since all one normally sees is much larger, heavier receivers which don't hit the nail on the head when all you need is a simple, quality stereo amp. So if you're reading this, you may have the hard part behind you!

we use this unit as a zone amp for a multi-zone system in a B&B.it's clean/low-distortion, with a great deal more definition than the multi-channel unit we had been using.... very straightforward setup. and, as the unit is deployed in our master bedroom, very good for marital bliss. i no longer get requests to turn the [*] music down or off....

I am running this amp in a commercial environment, and connecting a PA to the first input, which makes it absolutely perfect for my needs.

I bought a second for another room that will also require the automatic switchover, which is why I bought this amp - but for price paid, it's excellent value regardless of whether or not you need/use that feature.

This amp is used to power two pair of stereo speakers and it gets its signal from the tape out of an a/v receiver. The amp sports a volume control for each pair of speakers connected to it. I made sure the speakers are 8 ohm and that the speaker cable runs don't exceed 75' (16 gauge cable). Works great for quiet to moderate loud levels. One of the volume knobs pulls right off--otherwise I'd have given 5 stars given how cheap this thing is.

I had a couple of big old 8 ohm JBL speakers I hated to part with and a new IPOD. I've been plugging the Ipod into a boom box in my shop out in the barn, but the sound just "wasn't there".
I set up the Amp 100 to replace that setup and it's everything I hoped it would be, and cheaper than most other options I've seen on the internet.

If you want a well-built amplifier that can be hid away and doesn't need to be turned on and off, this is a great choice.

It's heavy and well-built for the price, and the auto-sensing means that it will turn itself on and off according to whether an audio signal is present or not, so you don't need to turn it on and off yourself.

The bridging feature is also interesting, seeing as single speakers with stereo inputs are not that plentiful and are often expensive for good ones.

Comments about AudioSource AMP100 Stereo Power Amplifier:

I wasn't expecting much build quality for the low price but I was quite surprised. The AMP100 is quite solidly built. It runs amazingly cool too while powering my surround speakers. The auto-on feature is exactly what I wanted since the amp is tucked away inside a cabinet running my surrounds.The only small downside is the balance control is very slightly angled when it is on the center mark but that's being very picky to find a negative.I would probably have paid double for this unit.[...]

Easy set up.
Worked right out of the box.

Comments about AudioSource AMP100 Stereo Power Amplifier:

I got this amp for a pair of speakers I've got outside and it does an amazing job. Sound is clear and has great power for what I need.

I would also recommend it as a woofer amp. I plugged it to an old car boom box I had and to my receiver's subwoofer output and it works unbelievably well.

Comments about AudioSource AMP100 Stereo Power Amplifier:

I use it for my subwoofer amp. I built my own line sensing module to turn on my old one. Lightening hit took both out.

This unit is a straight forward, line sensing power amp. Works great. Good delays, no frequency shifting or accenting.

Great product for the price.

This is a great small amplifier at a great price.

Used it for a in wall subwoofer eay to set up and use

Comments about AudioSource AMP100 Stereo Power Amplifier:

Plenty of power to generate plenty of sound. Easy to set up. Maybe a little pricey and could accomplish the same thing with a stereo receiver if you happen to have an extra one lying around. I would recommend it as a remote power source for non-powered speakers.

Comments about AudioSource AMP100 Stereo Power Amplifier:

This very simple, basic amplifier was a perfect fit for my organization's needs. We have a client who received a donated, older Samsung LCD flat panel monitor and a pair of non-powered JBL speakers. The setup had been used for demonstration purposes, and was now to be used for staff training.

The problem was the Samsung monitor's on-board amplifier was designed only for providing signal to its own powered speakers. It was never intended to drive anything like the donated JBL speakers with any real authority, and the original matching Samsung speakers were not included with the donation. Consequently, the volume level was extremely low in the training facility, and complaints began to mount among the training staff and trainees.

I looked for a low cost solution for our client and initially found nothing short of high priced integrated amps, Home Theater recievers, or super cheap, and poorly designed PA amps. When I found the Audio Source Amp100, I almost couldn't believe that such a high quality, moderately powerful amplifier was available at such a low price! This unit seemed too good to be true, and appeared to be a tailor-made solution for our problem. After a several months of use, I can say that the unit is trouble free, simple to operate, sounds great with music and TV audio. Our client, our trainees, and I am completely satisfied with this excellent product.

The most important thing about this amp is to use the line 2 inputs for your regular music. The line 1 inputs are a temporary source that is designed to cut into line 2 and then turn off when no signal is present at line 1. Line 2 inputs are for everyday music.

If you want both A and B zones all you have to do is push them both in at once. Be careful, you must have 8 ohm speakers to do this. This allows you to run 4 total speakers in two separate zones. Talk about versitile!

The other great thing about this amp is the speaker connectors. They are spaced perfectly for banana plugs, which make speaker hookup extremely easy.
