The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt

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

Don't take my word go to the "Audio Critic" web site for a full review

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.

Mr. Aczel's hearing problems have nothing to do with getting old:-)

D: Mr. Aczel is not the objective of this thread. The A-500's offer a significant value for the money. Thats it.

As mentioned to the Editor of Stereophile a few years ago , audio products designed elesewhere (as the A-500) and manufactured in China are going to become a norm. With Quad and B&W who's next? Crack the top of the 500 and see the reason ... I think I hear a buzz...
