Price Paid:  $500.00 from eBay

Summary:
I use this amp in my system in dual mono mode around a 1.5 year. Wery powerfull device. In my opinion it has clean, precise sound with warm midrange and accurate bass. I have change the input and output caps to greater capacitance (15KuF instead of 10KuF) and degree rate because the input resistors located near input caps runs very hot. These mods add the depth of sound and bass.

Strengths:
Solidstate amp with tube like sound without lack of bass. For its price is a super bargain.

Weaknesses:
Difficult to repair. Some parts out of production and AA is out of business :(

Summary:
I've been using this amp for five years and don't see any reason to spend more money on anything more esoteric. This is a terrific amp. Two detachable power supplies provide dual mono operation. I've used the amp with both Martin-Logan SL-3s and Alon II speakers and it works great with both. A very lush, warm midrange that provides more then a hint of tubes, with a powerful bass.

Strengths:
lush, tube-like sound with powerful bass of a good solid state.

Summary:
I got one used on line for 575.00 , its great! the sound is so warm but still so precise , it drives my M.L.'s fantastically which is a difficult thing at 4 times that price , to consider anything else for under 1500.00 would be a great way to really waste some money

Strengths:
Incredibly warm sound for solid state, build quality , looks good too

Weaknesses:
for price-- nothing
