By the way, I don't think I could get a whole lot for the pioneer in its present state. No fm, few lamps out & some really audible HSSSSsssss coming through the speakers now... looks pretty though...

A high quality amp of much smaller stature would likely suffice. But then, I'm not using them now anyway either.

Well, it has taken the listening of this amp to get me to seriously consider doing just that. The amp in the closet is that PS Audio 200c. Last time I used it it started popping loudly, at random, while listening to music or just idle. Used to be it would only POP-pop pop pop after turn off. Now...

I dunno man. The whole experience has got me poking around and thinking. ( and a little hungry for this amp...). There is a guy local selling a clean 400II. So I'm just curious. Knowing myself, I'd probably be happier in the long run with the "best". Besides, the thought of buying a cool amp is...

I have an amp in the closet with a lifted trace on a board that's been "strengthened". No replacement boards for that though. Are there WO mods for 400II as well?

Are the newer series amplifiers with the LED meters any more or less desireable? Like a 400 series II for example?

Oh yeah, by the way, my nieghbors across the street happen to be the town hall & local police... hmm mm can you flip the pic?

Thanks Nando. I don't have a bunch of things laying around to test vs, but sometimes the differences are obvious, like in this case. I'm personally more interested in quality vs quantity and typically listen to levels that are more on par with what bobbysdad stated. I have found that over the...

Opened her up with some Rush ~ Exit Stage Left "YYZ (live)" This an awesome Neal Pert drum solo that I've admired for many years. The wonderful thing about this amp, is that it just doesn't seem to sweat anything. All the dynamics from every piece of kit stayed together without any strain or...

So the original design has the output devices, on the inside?

Just for about 2 minutes earlier. Then that squeal. But I thought it was the nuts in its effortlessness. I listen to chill mostly, so I don't normally listen very loud. I'm really pleased with the quality of this.

You mean, looked under the hood?

That is a very good point my friend. You got me thinking too... 14yrs since our last concert. Chili Peppers / Foo Fighters tour...

I have a sample of that, shpongle falls I believe. But indeed, very cool.

Alright. I did it for a short period and the sinks got just warm to the touch. Had my wife come in then I cranked it up, she was like wow!, that sounds awesome!, let me go outside and see if I can hear it out there. (I thought that it was cool she wanted to do that lol). My window blinds were...

Tell me a bit about the current draw on this beast.... I decided to push things a bit with Lorde's "Royals" (try this song - a TON of deep bass). I had the meters set on -20db and was tacking them out so I switched over to 0db. Had it bouncing into the red and the whole house was shaking...

Thanks Nando, I took that pic this AM and I'm listening now. I go in this afternoon so I have some time for audition. I think this is a really good amp for these speakers so far. Outta my league on price it would seem though. Big solid state seems to be the way to go with 901's, which I'm more...

I think I'd have to TRY, to blow them, in order to blow them. There's quite a bit of heat dissipation with 18 voice-coils. Being that these are rated for amplifiers up to 450wpc, this amp is not a bad match. Even at pretty loud volumes, this amp isn't putting out anywhere near it's rated output...
