DLS A8
« on: October 12, 2006, 01:05:43 PM »
Folks,

Would like to hear your feedbacks on this particular "small power" 4channel amp.
From the looks of it, it doesn't seems to offer bandpass/full range ?

Very curious is this amp warmer type ?

The amp is not really on the warm side...but is very dynamic and musical. It does not offer bandpass or full range but you can turn on/off the crossover. The amp is very nicely build...SOLID and good heat sink. Beware of the A8 imitation though...just my 2 cents.

Newton-san,

Thanks for the advice. I wasn't aware there's fake stuffs running around.
Anyway, is there any tell tale sign its imitation ?

I'm getting from a reliable source, which most of you knows him.  ;D

not really on the warm side, but the power is underrated, quite similar to genesis series III four channel amp (4 x 50W) but a tad bit tamer..

Thanks Zenn.

Bought, installed. I am amazed, the power must have under-quoted by at least 30%.  ;D
Just done first round of tuning. I started to fall in love with this amp.  :D

crealqler-san,
Great, thanks for the ideas, anyway, I don't quite in favor of "used" items, though I know that particular unit (heard of) is demo unit only.
Anyway, that's not worth debate.  ;D

TripleOne-san,
Alpine Scanspeak(Tw)-Vifa(5.35" midbass) model F13M.

Anyway, love this setup very much.
