Only posting as the price and wattage caught my eye, in a very suspicious way.

That is peak power, not rms. The rms ratings are shown in the ad also.

Knew that from the specs read before posting. The post was more a reaction to the price vs. Posted specs. You know what, I don't even know anymore.

There is/ was a wrongism in most markets, "you get what you pay for".

This site and many others prove that to be bollocks at most points on the value scale.

However...........at some point......

scroll down and second review says it is only 30 watts per channel.

The first hint that this is bunk should be advertising 2000 watts power without a three-phase power plug (how would that work on a 15A circuit?). The second hint should be a "pro" piece of equipment with only unbalanced RCA inputs. At least on the Technical Pro website they admit that this is a 240 watts @ 8 ohm amp (2000 is "peak") with a 79 dB singal-to-noise ratio.

So its significantly better than the $1500 Wyred4Sound amp that Amir reviewed at 1/10th the price! And you don't need eBay you can get it in Walmart. No, I won't be purchasing because I don't have much use for a 79db amplifier. Especially when thinks like the Echo Link Amp are available for US$200 and score much better. If I wanted a high power amp I'd go for the recommended Behringer A800 because there are no fans. last thing you need is fan noise when you already have only 79db to work with. But if you look at what's on the recommended list in that price range, well there isn't much and what is there are very low-power amps (other than the Behringer).
