Amazon.com Product Description
A favorite of audiophiles everywhere, the AudioSource Amp 100 two-channel power amplifier is built to deliver powerful music, pure and simple, with few extra controls to get in the way. Listeners can use the Amp 100 as an independent stereo amp (50 watts x 2 into 8 ohms) when used with a preamp, as a second zone amplifier in multi-room applications, or as a rear-channel amplifier in a 6.1- and 7.1-channel system. Combine the Amp 100 with an additional monoblock amp (the Amp 100 delivers 150 watts RMS of bridged power) and a preamp and listeners can independently 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 stereo inputs with automatic priority override (for connecting to a source such as a receiver, CD player, or preamplifier) or the auxiliary output for creating a multi-amp setup. The amp boasts a precise frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and total harmonic distortion of 0.02 percent. Additional features include A, B, or A+B speaker selector switches, front-panel mounted volume and balance knobs, and five-way binding posts that work with both bare wire and banana plugs. Plus, at 16.5 by 2.9 by 9.25 inches (W x H x D), the device should fit comfortably in most rack mount or home entertainment setups. All AudioSource amps are backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor. What's in the Box

Product Description
AudioSource Amp 100 is a power amplifier that is versatile enough to be used to drive speakers with different impedance ratings in stereo mode. Ot also allows bridging the 2 separate internal amp circuits for higher power sound to one channel. Though designed for home use, the bridge-application makes this suitable for use in bars and restaurants, where stereo channeling might not be considered, but high quality output is definitely an issue.

 Nice Amp July 3, 2008
Tim Wint (Flower Mound, TX)
I've had this amp running now for about 3 weeks. Very clean sound. I'm using it to drive old Bose 901's through the Bose equalizer from a Harmon-Kardon preamp out. Nice complement to the system. Just what I wanted at a great price also.
Does what it says on the box June 25, 2008
Paul Turner
Bought it to power some outdoor speakers, instead of fiddling around with B output on existing receiver. It's nice and simple, no myriad of buttons - an on/off switch, balance, and volume - quite refreshing. The only thing I'd improve is that the speaker outputs are a little fiddly, but other than that, pleased with purchase.
Great Amp May 20, 2008
Michael Dion
I am very happy with my purchase. This amp is perfect for powering my rebuilt Epicure 10's from the 70's. It replaced an old Pioneer 35 watt receiver that was getting long in the tooth. Music from my Logitech SqueezeBox Receiver Squeezebox Receiver sounds fantastic.
Beware of static electricity! May 17, 2008
N. Conrardy (Tucson, AZ USA)
OK, this amp does what is says it will do. I use it to drive some speakers from my flat screen TV audio output. Some people are confused how this amp operates but the manual can be downloaded before you buy it so read it before you buy.
Now, for some interesting information. There is no external ground on this amp so there is no ground on the electrical plug. I walked across the carpet, touched the amp, static electricity hit the the outside case, and smoked rolled out of the case. It fried the circuit board. Luckily it was still under warranty.
 Avoid this Amp!!! May 7, 2008

This amp is absolute junk. I am the Technology Coordinator for a small mid western school district. We bought this amp (actually, we bought 9 of them) from our local AV supplier for use in the classroom. They are hooked to a DVD/VCR player and a pair of small Dual brand speakers. Nothing fancy.
After less than a year of use I now have three of them that don't work properly. Two of them have the sound cut out intermittently and one has a loud hum through the speakers whenever the unit is turned on. I was told by the AV supplier to make sure nothing was sitting on top of them because the weight would cause them to short out. For the record, nothing has sat on top of any of these amps since we got them, but I don't think that says too much for the robustness of this product when you can't set anything on top of it. Have you ever seen a stereo cabinet where components weren't stacked?
Bottom line: This is "Made in China" junk and should be avoided.
PS: So far I have sent one of these back to the company for repair under warranty. They said it would take 3 to 6 weeks to get it back. This is the year 2008. What takes 6 weeks to repair?
