[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 1246994, member: 540940"] I'm not nearly as quick to bash Legacy as most people are. Generally, for the price their amps are ok. As long as you understand the max rating on the shell is nothing more than a random number. However, if you look in the manual this amp is rated at 200w at 4 ohms, and 335 at 2 (it's a shame they even considered putting 2000w on it). It says it's 1 ohm stable but doesn't even list a power spec at that impedance. Going off the jump from 4 ohms to 2, I would guess it may be 500 or so at 1 - assuming it is indeed stable there. At ~$100 or so new it might be worth considering, but at the $140 ebay price tag it looks like there should be a lot better buys out there from more respectable mfgs. Even considering Legacy's bottom of the barrell standards I think they came up a little short on this one. [/QUOTE]
