Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $90.00 from ebay

Summary:
I purchased a set both the Samson Servo 260 & Samson Servo 170 both off of Ebay deliever to my home from California to Texas for $160.00 total for both including shipping! Best Purchase I've made. I use the Samson Servo 260 to run (4) Kustom Floor Monitors (2) 12" & (2) 10" putting the load at 4ohm on each channel. I use it once or twice a week for concerts with Local and National Label bands. No Problems. The Samson Servo 170 is a back up amp. I mean for the price I got both of them delievered to my door step I couldn't beat the deal.

On a serious Note: If you see one of these Samson Servo-260 for around $100.00 on ebay buy it. It puts out about 140 watts per channel. you can't get a gemsound or gemini amp for that kind of money. This Samson hasn't let me down. No Fan but it has never run hot not even after HOURS of use. I can't complain about the noise from the Fan like some peeps do that own NADY, GEMSOUND.

Strengths:
Price, Power, Price, Looks

Weaknesses:
no xlr input only 1/4" input and output

Similar Products Used:
Behringer Euro 2500 Kicks Butt.... lots more power so I can't compare. I did sell off a Gemsound 3000Watt when I got this Samson 260 if that tells you anything

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $100.00 from used

Summary:
Sturdy amp I haven't had the opportunity to push into its paces. Sounds full and open with that sense of space that comes from an amp that is ready to give a lot more.

I'm using 3 of these fed from the UREI model 525 3-way electronic crossover. The setup is only in a mid-sized room, so I'm barely kissing the IDLE indicators at full volume. I can't wait to push this setup all the way...

Strengths:
Overall sound
Sturdiness
Shallow in rack-mounts

Weaknesses:
No level meter, like the old servo120, just an 'idle'/clip indicator.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
