This amp is awesome!! The clarity is unbelievable!! I used to have
a Harman Kardon power amp, but the B&K is a sure win!!

I give it a ten because the sound was very clear and natural. There was
a high degree of realism when matched with other B&K products. Way to go!!

Hi there,

I'm thinking of buying this amp used.  Right now the amp is 7 years old but in fine condition.  The guy wants $700.00 CN.  Is this good amp? Also, is 100w enought to drive 250w floorstanding speakers?

I also notice the AC line leakage signal output while in standby mode. It's about 5mv p-p when the amp is hot and decreases to about 2mv p-p when it 'cools'. All harmonics of 120 hz are present. I installed a solid-state relay controlled by the Ref 20 to cut line power to the amp and bypass the incompetent 'standby mode' capability. Whether this degrades the amp over time...who knows.

I have the newer series II and am impressed with this amp. The build is like a tank and it sounds great. No distortion, no pops, no cracling, etc. The bass is very tight and the ampis mellow with good range. I give it a 9. Since I have only listened to the ADCOM 7500 and Accurus I have limited knowlege comparing it with a reference amp and the same speakers. However, I can't imagine that you could do any better in this price range and partially a tad better in an amp costing many times more.

A 3mv peak-to-peak 120 Hz signal is sent to speakers in
standby mode and can be heard out of the speakers
while the amp is in standby.
