This product has been continuously produced (although often improved) since 1978. This esteemed amplifier is currently in its sixth generation, and it has never been better. Now with 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms (and over 500 watts at 4 ohms), this true dual mono amplifier is powerful enough for almost any speaker, but its price remains affordable. The degree of clarity, power, nuance, and outright truthfulness of this amplifier is staggering. If you've always wanted one, maybe now is the right time.
