Product Description
AudioSource Amp 100 is a power amplifier that is versatile enough to be used to drive speakers with different impedance ratings in stereo mode. Ot also allows bridging the 2 separate internal amp circuits for higher power sound to one channel. Though designed for home use, the bridge-application makes this suitable for use in bars and restaurants, where stereo channeling might not be considered, but high quality output is definitely an issue.

Amazon.com Product Description
A favorite of audiophiles everywhere, the AudioSource Amp 100 two-channel power amplifier is built to deliver powerful music, pure and simple, with few extra controls to get in the way. Listeners can use the Amp 100 as an independent stereo amp (50 watts x 2 into 8 ohms) when used with a preamp, as a second zone amplifier in multi-room applications, or as a rear-channel amplifier in a 6.1- and 7.1-channel system. Combine the Amp 100 with an additional monoblock amp (the Amp 100 delivers 150 watts RMS of bridged power) and a preamp and listeners can independently drive two front left/right speakers or two rear speakers, further clarifying each channel to create dynamic, high-end sound. To connect additional components to the amp, use the included stereo inputs with automatic priority override (for connecting to a source such as a receiver, CD player, or preamplifier) or the auxiliary output for creating a multi-amp setup.

The amp boasts a precise frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and total harmonic distortion of 0.02 percent. Additional features include A, B, or A+B speaker selector switches, front-panel mounted volume and balance knobs, and five-way binding posts that work with both bare wire and banana plugs. Plus, at 16.5 by 2.9 by 9.25 inches (W x H x D), the device should fit comfortably in most rack mount or home entertainment setups. All AudioSource amps are backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

5 out of 5 stars Very solid amplifier for the price   July 18, 2010
B. G. Leedy (Yellowstone United States)
I purchased this amp to use in the bi-amped mode for my center channel speaker. The level control allows for fine tuning of the volume level. One slight thing to note was the ambiguous listing for the bridged mono power output: According to the owners manual in different spots it is either 150 or 160 watts. The box says it 135 watts bridged. No matter, it's way more than enough power for my needs and an excellent value for the price. I now have two of these AudioSource amps--one for almost three years--and have had no problems.


5 out of 5 stars Good simple amp.   July 12, 2010
Alfred M. Loizeaux (Baltimore)
I use this amp to feed speakers on my roof deck from internet music (various sources). My computer sound card software has more than enough adjustments to trim the audio so no "preamp" is required. I like that it is reasonably small and that it will turn off after 20 minutes or so in the absence of a signal. The sound is clean and there is plenty of power for my application.
A good deal!



5 out of 5 stars Almost as good as my old Rotel   June 14, 2010
Graham P. Smith
I purchased this to replace an old Rotel 840 Amp, which in it's day supplied incredible sound quality at a price I could afford (in the 90s). I read other folks reviews on the AMP-100 and took the plunge. The AudioSource is simply amazing for the price, awesome sound, no thrills and easy to use. For those who have 2 ears and 1 brain this is a great Stereo Amp at any price.




5 out of 5 stars Very nice amp   May 26, 2010
Peter Dale (Seattle, WA USA)
I bought this to run two in-wall speakers in my bedroom. I have a ZyXEL DMA1100P hooked up to it as an audio source. This combination works beautifully. I turn on the ZyXEL which sends an audio signal to the amp and turns it on automatically. When I'm all done, the amp turns itself off. I have had no issues with the amp turning off or dropping out when using it. I even listen at low volume in the bedroom and it works fine. They either fixed the issue others are having or they are not using it right. Sound quality is good. Volume is really good. I have it at half way and it's plenty loud. At this price you can't beat it.


4 out of 5 stars simple and inexpensive   May 22, 2010
J. Ohlman
looking for a simple aux amp? This is a great choice...I added this to my very expensive Pioneer receiver to add two zones. Sounds good and won't break the bank. I
