Behringer A500 ???

Any thought on how this sounds.They're 179.00 shipped.My thoughts would be to sell off my B&K ST-140's for these.I would need three for six channels.I need some more juice for my RS center channels.

Only post if you have first hand(ear) impressions

They tend to buzz a bit.They do have the power I needed.I'm powering the RS28a/RS225 TM.

As far as sound quality, it is difficult to say at this moment because they are on surround duty.Due to the on wall surround situation I had some little peaks here and there.I smoothed all out with my Ashly PEQ.I like a bit of a dip in the midrange.

For sirround duty you can't beat them.One of these days i'll hook em' up to the mains and give a real review.

I know a couple of people who have 7 A500's bridged for all their channels.

comments were that it beat their existing 200wpc amplifiers.

No doubt the power is there.I just wish I could get a handle on the buzzing.Wow, 7 would be some serious power.And at the old price of 179.00 each, 1,250.00 for seven would do the trick.

Here's a great review on the A-500

This guy makes a lot of sense to me....

I made a hard copy for my records.I like it.He based everything on measurements and it made sense to him, but not for the cost.Hence, bang for the buck.

I can't wait to try the second amp on the back pair.Thanx for the link
