Extremely clean and powerful amplifier. It can handle anything I throw at it. Would highly recommend to anybody in search of an amplifier. Sounds just as good as the Proceed AMP5, in my humble opinion.

If you want bang for your buck, this is the amplifier. I agree with the other reviews in that I have yet to reach this amplifiers limits. Be prepared to spend some cash on a decent rack shelf, the uncrated weight of this supurb piece of equipment is 84lbs. I am currently running five channels at 8 ohms and one channel on subwoofer at 4 ohms. Construction and qualty ar excellent. This amp is also bridgable for a wopping 300W X 3 channels. Reccomendations: Amp needs airflow, if mounted in confined areas use rack fans. Amp also needs external 12v trigger for remote turn on, don't panic you can use a wal pack plugged into your tuners switched outlet. It is nice to see this kind of quality in an American made product. One more feature you will not see on amps costing twice the price are the level and peak indicating L.E.D.'s for each channel. On quiet passages it's nice to have a visual indication of channel operation. This is not and endorsement, I purchased this amp with my own hard earned cash and have had nothing but enjoyment from day one, although your delivery man may suffer a broken back upon delevery. Sound is excellent, I feel as though I am listening to my CD collection for the very first time.

I believe its a very good amp for the money. Some places sell it for 80% of MSRP. There is plenty of power and sounds very good with a lot of depth. I've come nowhere close to reaching its limits, I couldn't hear any distortion. I've paired it with a B&K 3090 and Sony DVP-S3000 and the movies sound fantastic. I also have DMX and music sounds great also. This amp is very good for both home theater and music, and I highly recommend it. Its just sooooo heavy.

Best features of this amp are that it provides the biggest bang for the buck. It is quick, clean, distortion free. I've yet to come close to discovering its
limits. I've used the 1505 for home theater and music use. It is mated with Martin Logan ReQuests and Logos speakers as well which are reported to be a more
difficult load to drive. This amp laughs at the Logans. It never gets hot and
is very quiet. I use a B&K AVP1030 for home theater and a Coda FET01 for audio.
I highly recommend this amp. I hear ATI is coming out with a 2205 which will have more power than the 1505. I can't wait to hear it. In the meantime save your money on the expensive Krell and Classe gear and have no apprehension about
purchasing the ATI product. You could do a lot worse than the ATI.
