Just bought one of these to build a small PA to practice in my studio. Gotta say, even without EQ and just going from a Behringer Eurorack MX802A mixer and through a Behringer Composer MDX 2100 sound is awesome. Another thing that took me by suprise is, this amp is unbelievably light. Weighs next to nothing. I would recommend this amp to everyone and plan to buy 3 more to build a full gigging system.

Had this for two weeks and i went up in flames during a concert. Thick smoke came out of the unit and we had to interrupt the performance. Spend some more money and get a real product.

I've used one of these amplifiers for a short while and can say quite positively that they can be pushed quite beyond the indicated specs and still operate with no background noise or interference or no buzzings or anything like that. They keep very cool, even under extreme conditions, and I do mean extreme. The music comes out very clear, loud and distortionless and best of all is it didn't cost me anywhere near my intended budget. I would definitely get another if I'm ever in the market again.
