in the EU I can get a 4 channel quality amp, douple the undistorted power than yours, for 340€ delivered to my doorstep. All taxes and delivery included, with a "no questions asked" warranty for 3 (three) years! A product that will run at full output for days if asked to. If it breaks, it will be repaired at no cost.

Have a look at Thomann. They have a house brand called "the t.amp". These are very reasonable priced and well build. Over the years they have earned a reputation of reliable, low priced gear for entry and advanced level PA. They are used by many DIYS Hifi people, for subs and home cinema. The 100% perfect warrante has made them the no risk solution if you can't spend a fortune. Very high prices on the used market, so buying new is more adviseable in most cases.

6 and 8 is perfect. Is there a listing that is up already?
 
Oh darn, I only just got myself the Topping Mini 300 because I was so eager to try something Class D for the first time. Still willing to return it though ;)

@3eaudio any info on pricing/availability in Europe for the PAM152?

I don't think you hired a marketing team, I'll help you out. Follow-up your A series with B series, add the number of channels ie B2, B6, B8. Place it small and in the corner, as you did with A5 and A7. GLWS
 
I found the ALSOZONE (terrible name) PAM156 product on Amazon.com but it’s not yet listed on Amazon.ca.

At a first glance, it looks very promising (trigger in and trigger through, SE and balanced, integrated power supply, PFFB, good specs and components, selectable gain, clipping indicator). About the only thing that’s missing from my personal wish list is the ability to limit the output voltage per channel (e.g., a gain knob or potentiometer for each channel).

The PAM156 is spec’d to deliver 80W into 8 ohms, which is a bit less than I’d like. Consequently, I’m more interested in the (hopefully) more powerful PAM256.

I’ll be eagerly awaiting Amir’s review of the PAM256 (or PAM 258).

I couldn’t see anything about these products on the 3e Audio website and couldn’t find an ALSOZONE website.

Would make more sense to make it B5x and B7x, given there are two different power options for each number of channels



Gotta say, I'm not a fan of the branding either, and especially its prominence on the faceplate. I would probably just cover the name with black electrical tape and call it a day, it doesn't really bother me. But it makes me worry about the commercial success of this product, honestly, great as the tech almost definitely is

Yes, very promising feature set but ALSOZONE across the front disrupts my Feng Shui. I think the prominence is what hits so hard.

It's exactly the same output as specified for the sister model A5. Since both are based on the TPA3251, this should not be much of a surprise.

PAM152, PAM252, PAM254 and PAM 158 are available from Amazon.de so far. I like the new type numbers better than the older ones.

I'm not the biggest fan of the brand name ALSOZONE, but @3eaudio already knew my opinion on that. ;)

True.

I’m hoping that the PAM256 amps will have the same specs and performance as the 3e Audio A7. The A7 is spec’d at 140W into 8 ohms.

I’ve not yet seen anything released on the PAM 2xx amps. The data on the Amazon page for the PAM256 gives the specs for the PAM15x amps.
