Amazon.com Product Description

The Amp 5.1 stereo power amplifier from AudioSource is a powerful and flexible addition to your home theater. You can use this monoblock amplifier by itself, or combine it with a series of Amp 5.1 units to power an entire home theater and drive speakers throughout your home.

The clean design houses a high-power amplifier that is easy to set up and easy to expand as your home theater grows. AudioSource amplifiers deliver accurate, rich sound, combining high sound-pressure levels and a clear reproduction of even the most subtle details of sound. The Amp 5.1 provides up to 100 watts per channel with total harmonic distortion of less than 0.1%.

Depending on your needs, you can place and replace several monoblock amps in one system. It's easy to connect power sources, audio and video inputs, and speaker outputs with the expansion-friendly design. Balanced inputs allow the Amp 5.1 to connect to audio and video components with XLR outputs, and unbalanced inputs handle RCA output connections.

The front panel of the amplifier has a simple array of LED displays that signal both operating status and potential warnings. A protect warning helps you avoid overloading or overheating the unit, and it will reset the unit to the initial settings once the problem is addressed.

A phase control button allows you to switch the polarity of the speaker outputs to compensate for occasions where speakers are out of phase and sounding hollow. A low-cut control feature filters the lowest frequencies from your small speakers, preventing distortion and protecting the speakers. In the heart of the amp, the torodial power transformer generates a big sound while reducing distortion by shielding the sound from stray magnetic fields. You can control the volume directly on the unit or by adjusting the signal source component (such as your receiver, preamp, etc.).

4 out of 5 stars Solid Power in a Small Package.......2007-01-06

These amps are great. A very good way to work your way up to 5.1, 7.1, or any configuration. Reliable, clean, and a front-panel volume to make balancing a system easy. I am an audio professional, and would recommend these to anyone who needs good sound to grow on (on a budget).

4 out of 5 stars small and versatile but a little hard to use.......2006-11-10

These amps are small enough to hide anywhere and produce clean and loud sound. The ability to daisy chain them together saves power outlets. The lack of a remote means you have to find them and turn them on any time you want to use them. They have an auto on feature but I've never been able to make it work to my satisfaction.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect Amp for my center channel.......2006-10-04

This Amp did not disappoint! Our main Dolby 5.1 audio system has one big drawback: the speakers are all mounted in the downstairs ceiling and my daughter's room is right above them so I can' run them after 7:00pm when she goes to sleep. Problem is, without a true center channel running, my wife and often have trouble picking up dialog from the weak built-in speakers of our 61" JVC HDTV.

The solution was a Midiland ADS 2000 DTS Decoder outputting just the center channel signal to a single AudioSource 5.1A Monoblock and a Polk Audio RM6902 speaker to supplement those weak built in speakers of the 61" JVC. Now we get to have our cake (i.e. hear the dialog clearly from the center channel) and eat it too (still hear the left and right channels where the music and other background sounds are). All without needing to fire up the main 5.1 dolby digital amp.

Best of all, I don't have to get up to turn the AudioSource Amp on: it just turns itself on when I turn on the power to the Midiland Decoder. I can even control the center channel volume with the Midiland remote. Needless to say, I'm a happy customer.

Now for the nitpicking: it sure would be nice if the product was offered in some sort of gray color in addition to black. I don't use enclosures so as to prevent overheating of my A/V components, so the black color of the Amp really stands out from all my other gray & silver devices. Also, the power LED is a bit too bright and calls too much attention to itself.

5 out of 5 stars Nice small, versatile amp........2005-01-16

I use pairs of these in my conference rooms. They provide pleny of power, are small, support both balanced and unbalanced inputs, and the auto-power feature means I don't even have to touch them; when the audio source is turned off so do all the amps.

I recommend adding the EQ25.1 to tune the sound to your room.

5 out of 5 stars good value.......2004-03-11

AudioSource is well known for providing good value for the price and they don't dissapoint with their 5-series amps. There's nothing in its price-range that has similar quality.

The output isn't quite as rich a Bruce Moore 70, but at 1/20th the price, it's a great deal.

                4 out of 5 stars Perfect Fit.......2005-07-17

                At first I was a little aprehensive about purchasing these speakers. There's not much information available for them. I even e-mailed Pyle for certain specs that I couldn't find, but go no answer. Here's why I bought them - a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Convertible has 6x9 speakers in the front doors, but only 2.5" mounting depth - no other aftermarket 6x9s would fit without modifying the door (ie: grinding away metal) and I didn't want to put in adapters and 6.5" speakers. I was pleasantly suprised with the sound they produce. The woofers aren't going to shake your car (get a sub for that), but they have a good sound and actually do a good job. The mids and highs are very clear and crisp. Are there better 6x9s ? - Yes, but if you have space limitations, I can't see very many 6.5"s giving this range of sound for this price. If you have a Sebring - these bolt right in - no cutting or grinding.

                    Turn your dreams of big-screen sports and lifelike movies into reality with Akai's surprisingly affordable PT4299HD projection TV. This giant, 42-inch set offers a widescreen image perfectly formatted for the latest high-definition broadcasts and your favorite DVD movies. The screen accepts full 1080i HD images from DTV set-top receivers and offers stunning, 15-watts-per-channel stereo sound with BBE sound enhancement.

                    A progressive-scan converter brings standard interlaced (480i) signals--such as those from VCR, non-progressive DVD players, and other devices--to progressive (480p) resolution. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

                    The PT4299HD's three-line comb filter enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).

                    Connections include 2 HD-capable component-video inputs, and a translucent onscreen display simplifies setup, even when your program is already in progress.

                    4 out of 5 stars Great size & excellent HDTV & DVD picture for the price.......2006-04-09

                    Looked at Plasmas & LCD's -this Akai has much better contrast and blacks and half the price. It's a rear projection CRT-no bulbs to change like DLP's. If you have the room, it's not bad looking either. Only 21" deep and 89 lbs is not bad compared to large 200lb. direct view CRTs. TV should be at eye level or slightly above and 10 -15' from viewer with low or no lights on for best picture. I put it on a sturdy coffee tabe. Akai was known in past for high quality audio components like reel to reel, may now be made by Samsung. Color saturation & balance was excellent out of box. 4 picture modes are available, I found Custom & Standard best to tweak picture with, I found cutting down on sharpness & contrast got a nicer, smoother picture. Hooked up to Charter HD cable box with monster DVI cables & DVD with component cables- gets excellent HDTV & DVD picture, from side angles as well. Hoping for more HD channels to become available as analog (non HD) picture quality is lousy when in DVI input mode as it has to be in "stretch mode" on cable box to fill the whole screen. These 480 or lower broadcasts show 4:3 black bars on side which worries me for burn in problems. I heard that the first 100 hrs of use are most critical to avoid burn in on RPCRTs. Using the TV as the tuner rather than cable box and using its "panorama" option fixes this better though and significantly improves an analog- source picture to "good." Watching sports or anything else in HD is awesome though as monitor displays 1080 input from most of those. Picture seems to get even better as the TV warms up. Very good remote as well. It's S-Video input is essential for decent VCR use. Kmart is clearing these out now for $810 and a very reasonable extra 2 yr protection plan for 50$. For about $900 total with taxes, combined with my surround sound system ( built in sound from TV is very good, by the way), I have a pretty decent theater in my basement!

                    1 out of 5 stars Liked it at first.......2006-03-17

                    I got one just like this at Conn's but it was the 52" model. I was really impressed when I got it home. The HD through the component input is beutiful. But here is what you need to watch out for BURN IN in on the side bars if you watch it in 4:3 mode and I am talking less then 3 months with only occasionally watching it with black bars on the side. Akai put in small print on the front page of their manual that they will not warrent any type of burn in. I did call them anyway and they won't do a thing. If you do buy this TV make sure you always watch in 16:9 mode or you too will get side bar burn in.

                    4 out of 5 stars Get a free 42" Plasma TV instead!.......2006-03-03

                    Why settle for less, when you can get a brand new original Panasonic or Samsung 42 inch plasma TV for Free! I got mine from this web site: http://topdeal.biz/plasma-tv

                    5 out of 5 stars nothing compares within 1k!!!.......2005-08-17

                    This is a steal! If you don't have thousands of dollars to waste, this is your answer to prayer. This TV is outstanding though not perfect... but there is nothing to complain about cause you get so much more TV for your money than anything I saw in my weeks and weeks of research. Spend a couple extra bucks to get the component cables cause it takes your picture to a new level! ENJOY

                    4 out of 5 stars Sleek, slim, great price!.......2005-05-03

                    When the cable guy walked past our nearly decade old Magnavox 27 inch tv and nonchalantly announced its impending demise, it was time to venture into the brave new world of tv technology: crt, plasma dlp, lcd...hearing about all the new "idiot box" advances made me feel like I was on lsd. As if that weren't bad enough, whatever we bought had to fit in the Arhaus armoire (last year's tax purchase) that's only 21 inches deep. Finally, we found the Akai. With its 42 inch screen, it's a big upgrade from the old set, and a nice transition set while waiting for DLP, Plasma and LCD to get lower in price and iron-out the kinks. At $799 through HH Gregg and Circuit City during sales, it's not gonna break the bank, either.

                    Pluses: fits where others don't, tweaking the factory presets results in a picture quality that rivals its more expensive, big name counterparts, intuitive menus and remote, no glare. Basically a rebadged Samsung, without PIP.

                    Minuses: none of the traditional necessary inputs for HDTV. If you want to get HD, you'll need a tuner or digital cable box with built-in tuner, no lenticular cover (the lens screen is particularly fragile and needs careful cleaning), should be on matching stand for best light distribution, sound quality requires a home theater set.

                    But if you're happy with a larger screen that offers crisp, clear, bright and detailed images when using prog scan DVD players or watching channels like HBO that are truly digital, the Akai's not a bad choice. Especially for the technophobic and budget-minded.
