Knockoff of the Dr Crankenstein amps. They will have a noticeable transformer hum from the amp. Nothing special about them. Would make a Great Wall ornament

As already stated, mediocre sound quality. THD 0.1 and SN ratio of 90db is what you get from old class D subwoofer amplifiers.

These are class A/B 2 channel amplifiers. These used to be pawn shop amps. Back when pawn shops actually carried new audio gear. We're talking 1990's.

Don't get me wrong, back then I thought I was cool running LA Sound.

Would be interesting to buy one and send to BigD to have him test it.

I used to eyeball those LA Sound amps. They are aesthetically pleasing to me, just like the old JBL GTQ series. The ones with the purple silkscreen.
