AudioSource Amp One/A 160-Watt Stereo Power Amplifier with Internal Bridging description
Not everyone wants or needs a single feature-loaded surround receiver, which is where the AudioSource Amp One/A 160-watt stereo amplifier comes into play. A favorite of audiophiles everywhere, the device is built to deliver powerful music, pure and simple, with few gratuitous extra controls to get in the way. Listeners can use the Amp One/A as an independent stereo amp (80 watts x 2) when used with a preamp, or as an adjunct amp for a low-powered surround receiver with preamp outputs (it delivers 200 watts of mono power). Combine the Amp One/A with an additional monoblock amp and a preamp and listeners can powerfully drive two front left/right speakers or two rear speakers, further clarifying each channel to create dynamic, high-end sound. To connect additional components to the amp, use the included line-in jacks (for connecting to a source such as a receiver, CD player, or preamplifier) or the line-out/thru jacks (for creating a multi-amp setup). It's also simple to switch between stereo and mono modes thanks to the bridging switch.

The amp features a precise frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and total harmonic distortion of less than 0.04 percent--barely enough to register to the human ear. It also boasts color-coded five-way binding posts that make it easy to hook up stereo speakers. And at 16.5 by 2.38 by 11.62 inches (W x H x D), the device should fit comfortably in most rack mount or home entertainment setups. In addition, the Amp One/A is covered by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

AudioSource Amp One/A 160-Watt Stereo Power Amplifier with Internal Bridging Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥

Well worth it

This is actually a review for the AmpOne (not the /A version). This one is the same specs, except it has output meters (and x10 sensitivity), dual switchable speaker outs, and a soft-clip circuit.

I have been very impressed. I picked mine up off of Craigslist. I had to replace the meter lights and re-epoxy the meter scales in place in the meters. Otherwise, the build quality was very nice. Heavy toroidal transformer and discrete output transistors. It runs cool to the touch, amd has very adequate heatsinking. Bias and dc-offset was spot on, even after probably 10-15 years.

This thing has well exceeded my expectations. I currently use it to drive a pair of Klipsch KG4s and it will run me out of the room if I want to push it hard. And at much lower volumes, this amp never loses composure. It also drove a pair of a/d/s L-1290/2s in stereo and also was pressed into center channel duty in bridged mode. I have never had the protection engage and the soft-clip gives me some peace of mind with kids in the house.

Highly recommended
