Mulit-channel Amp,Which one you would like to own?

[monsterlag]

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.

You likely missed this

How could they? TPA-3255 has different DNA, allows higher voltage thus delivers LOTS more power into the same impedance, at say 0.1 THD. Nearly double in many apples to apples given a good heat handling design

Woke up hoping this was all just a weird dream, but no

Glad to see you got the 2-channel.
I'm curious if the AUTOZONE led is viewable if it's disabled.
I'm a minimalist, I don't care for four LEDs on a 2-channel either so I'd likely replace the faceplate for one with a simple button, probably to match my horrendously too busy TORC DAC. Growing pains of small companies

 

[harkpabst]

AUTOZONE?

 

[chaddawkins]

AUTOZONE?

I think autocorrect struck again

 

[Bryguy]

I can't be the only one that thought AutoZone the second I saw the listing right? Lol

Kindly share that this model series is performance and reliability driven rather than features and design. That is why we want it run as simply as possible as a pure power amplifier, not only for some home use case like cinema. but also multi-zone with different input or output.

Most people's audio equipment is front and center of their living room, seen by every guest and themselves every day; that must be taken into account.

Performance and reliability are the main criteria for me with my purchasing decisions. Others using these amps for multi zone installs and stuff like that likely wouldn't care about ugly branding, but even if your product offers good performance and reliability, there will be many buyers who won't buy something they don't like the look of.

I just don't see why you would choose to decorate your product in such a way that guarantees you will lose business. Whoever added that has somehow managed to create something that is almost universally unsightly

Just don't want to see your great products get ignored because of poor aesthetic choices

 

[john61ct]

Different individuals have different taste.

Cultural factors also play a part.

And language issues, maybe that text string shouts "cool!" outside the Anglosphere

 

[Bryguy]

What I assumed led to the decision. Bottom line though, that branding is bad for business

In that case, why is there an unnecessary and unsightly label with the name of the device? What does it have to do with performance?

 

[pieterv1]

Yes what's the purpose of the obnoxious logo if the assumption is that it'll be used in professional environments, probably out of sight anyways.

A separate, more compact alu enclosure for the 2 channel version would have been the dream :')

I guess you won't be selling the new modules & power supply separately?

why can't I find the new amps on Aliexpress?

The common case allows to add two more channels to the PAMx52 models later on, effectively turning them into PAMx54 models.

This requires the additional modules to become available first, of course.

 

[Emiyanez]

Congrats @3eaudio! Great to see that they are finally out. Not a big fun of the branding but, other than that, they look great.

Would they be available from Audiophonics?

Yup and a new backplate or manual drilling for the connectors and switches.

 

[pieterv1]

We will consider the silver design in further product design, thanks for your feedback.

Should we not give up hope just yet? @3eaudio

I was just looking at the Cambridge Audio MXW70 and it is perfect from a cosmetic and practical standpoint. Apparently not so much in measurements and pricing.

Maybe I should get creative myself:

We're tough customers, but better here than Amazon.
