The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt


The Berringer a 500 Reference Amp that can be purchased on Musican's Friend web site for 194.00( each) to your house in the US of A w/ a 2 year warranty is a KILLER. I have several amps and these are scarey. Granted they were designed overseas & built in China... However, they are 19lbs GIANTS . Don't take my word go to the "Audio Critic" web site for a full review. This is my one an only give-away . Use it or loose it. Best to 'All

Cwlondon: Its good news to know your Behringer stuff " sounds better and better ". I'm with you ... For what you get for $169 they can be forgiven for no customer service /response. I'll "bank" the difference @ the Bank.
Readers , just a FYI: The two Berringer A-500s continue in my possession and operate flawlessly. They are to me the Dirt Kings @ up to 500 W mono per side that is highly regulated wattage that can be easily adjusted from 0-500W. I believe they now retail @ $269 per side but can be found discounted over the internet. Absolutely not SOTA but not so bad a runner in the race , considering they work with most panels and drivers on the market. All The Best

Great, Peter Aczel loves this cheap amplifier! Too bad Mr. Aczel is deaf.
D: Tisch , tisch may you live to be as old as Mr. Aczel.

To distill Mr. Aczel's review , the A-500's are pretty good. Cheap and inexpensive have different meanings. These inexpensive amps deliver far more technology than the retail price reflects. For someone on a budget that wants 0-500W Mono Blocks , these amps deliver or at least these two do.

As spring comes in my part of the US of A, I turn off my tubes (too hot) and rely on solid state for a few months. I counld care less should Peter has a hearing problem of not, the A-500's handel the job for my summer months and any other time. Oh, D have a little more respect for your elders. Soon enought your hearing will be abuzz with age.
