Review of Amplifier:
As a prelude to this, I have to say I got this amp kind of out of frustration after dealing with my other amps. My DD M2B blew twice within a day. First brand new, then right after repair. Got an older refurbished planet audio, which performed well for some months and then gave out.
Since I've already poured hundreds of dollars into equipment and had no amp to show for it, I wanted to get something cheaper. MB Quart was $200 shipped. I opted for the 3yr warranty as well, so it was about $220 shipped as I also used a coupon.
As soon as I started listening to it, it became apparent this amp is no joke. It packs a serious punch, though I don't have the means to clamp it. It's powering my B2 reference woofers (600W/ea). The concern is only for longevity as I've read mixed reviews about maxxsonics equipment. If it lasts, I'd call it an absolute steal at $200 from sonicelectronix. Aesthetically, the amp looks very nice. Shiny black finish with red light in the middle. There's a panel that covers all the amp controls as well as hides the screws for ground, power, etc. I've been playing it consistently at pretty high volume, it would hardly get warm. I've had it for 4 days now and I'm thoroughly impressed. To be honest, this is kind of performance I expected from the M2b, but I think I just got a bad amp as even at lower volumes it would get incredibly hot. Even if the MB Quart does burn at some point, I feel that with the 3yr warranty, it was an absolutely incredible deal for an amp that delivers well beyond expectations. Not sure how they're selling it for $200, but they are. Love the amp so far and I hope it lasts!
