I've got one and it holds up to many modern amps. It's a bit recessed but not bright, more like a tube amp. I think it sounds a bit better using 2 of the 4 channels rather than bridging 4 channels into 2. It doesn't like to be driven without a load, in fact I had one blow a channel when a speaker wire came off. Tough getting service as the company is defunct. Ebay has service manuals from time to time. Try to get the matching CX1 preamp. They work well together and it has both MM and MC phono, defeatable tone controls, etc. What are you going to have to pay for this?
Muzcal I was reading the specificaion, and said that pro protection normaly it's a fuse. The fuse has to be replace with a 7A one. Try that for your defective channel. I have a phone numbre for a company that it's fixing all the DBX old home audio. If yu want it let me know.
