those alpines aren't poorly built...and excess glue is better than too little right?

basically they are mass built with parts loaded by machine. point is its cheaper to produce this way rather than having 18 guys hand place and solder parts. that would drastically raise the price of the amps. i would call them fair. open up many "high end" amps and you will see flaws.

A few older pg amps have the golden circuit board. I have an mtx 564 amp, and the circuit board looks pretty nice.
