Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been an audiophile since I was a teen (over 20 years), having owned some truly high end amplifiers like Bryston, Audio Research, and currently in my main system, a McIntosh MC162.All phenomenal amps.I also happen to own an AudioSource AmpTwo and an AmpOne, both superb amps for the money.The only difference with the AmpTwo, is that it has left and right channel lit VU meters that measure watts output and 'headroom' in db units.Very cool indeed!Other than this, the AmpOne is identical to the AmpTwo.The AmpOne is set up in my home office connected to higher end equipment like Parasound and a Denon HDCD player.My speakers are the very venerable and respected bookshelf horn speakers, the JBL HLS-610, which is very well balanced and revealing of source material and equipment.And lastly, I run fairly expensive 'StraightWire' interconnect cables between my components.That said, I have been blown away by the quality and neutral sound of thisamplifier!The amp sounds detailed, accurate, warm, sweet, and powerful - attributes usually found in more expensive high end amplifiers as mentioned above, usually costing thousands of dollars!Quite an amazing feat for this solid little affordable AudioSource that satisfies even high demand audiophile ears like mine.Moreover, I have tested the AmpOne and AmpTwo while driving difficult power hungry loads, such as Magneplanar 4 ohm speakers, and they performed beyond my expectations.Kudos to AudioSource for providing one of the truly 'best bang for the buck' deals in stereo amplification out there!I highly, HIGHLY recommend this product.

Product Description:
Not everyone wants or needs a single feature-loaded surround receiver, which is where the AudioSource Amp One/A 160-watt stereo amplifier comes into play. A favorite of audiophiles everywhere, the device is built to deliver powerful music, pure and simple, with few gratuitous extra controls to get in the way. Listeners can use the Amp One/A as an independent stereo amp (80 watts x 2) when used with a preamp, or as an adjunct amp for a low-powered surround receiver with preamp outputs (it delivers 200 watts of mono power). Combine the Amp One/A with an additional monoblock amp and a preamp and listeners can powerfully drive two front left/right speakers or two rear speakers, further clarifying each channel to create dynamic, high-end sound. To connect additional components to the amp, use the included line-in jacks (for connecting to a source such as a receiver, CD player, or preamplifier) or the line-out/thru jacks (for creating a multi-amp setup). It's also simple to switch between stereo and mono modes thanks to the bridging switch.
The amp features a precise frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and total harmonic distortion of less than 0.04 percent--barely enough to register to the human ear. It also boasts color-coded five-way binding posts that make it easy to hook up stereo speakers. And at 16.5 by 2.38 by 11.62 inches (W x H x D), the device should fit comfortably in most rack mount or home entertainment setups. In addition, the Amp One/A is covered by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.
