Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies

I've had these monos for a few months now, upgraded with the Sparkos opamps (two in each for xlr input) and continue to be amazed by their sound quality.  Oustanding soundstage width and depth, pinpoint imaging, quick, dyanmic and neutral.  

In my audio life I don't think I've ever been this impressed with such a relatively inexpensive audio purchase.  Heck, most of us have spent more for a single pair of RCAs than the price of the Fosi + Sparkos.

If anyone's on the fence about these amps, I'd suggest giving them a listen.  You, too, might be blown away.

Cheers, all.

This fosi mono appears to be getting praise from some picky dudes.

Don Morrison has been hand crafting omnidirectional loudspeakers for about 50 years in Toronto ON. They were originally based on the design of the Hegeman omnidirectional speaker (Morrison was mentored by Hegeman).

The ones my buddy has in his main system are a transmission line woofer (metal) and soft dome tweeter per speaker and separate transmission line sub woofer (two boxes per channel). 

They image like NO other speaker I know of… and the Fosi V3s are replacing 70 watt class A monoblocks. They are modified with Sparko op amps and are settling in nicely.

The "golden ears" crowd are aghast! How come something so cheap can sound so good! If only they came in a bling-encrusted 100lb pair of cases with blue VU meters.

I got a 300 wpc Fosi class D amp for an desktop system in my office. I am really impressed with the sound quality and it’s musicality. Excellent cheap streaming amplifier.

I bought a v3 for my kid's pc system to power a pair of Vienna Acoustic Bach Grands.  It's not audiophile at all and I haven't compared it to anything but I can say it's at least pretty good and it has plenty of power.  Very punchy, tight grip in the bass.
