would this amp sound excellent in a high end home stereo system or would it sound too bright?

I use one of the new Crown XLS amps in a high end home system and it sounds fantastic, completely neutral yet effortlessly powerful. This amp replaced a Crown MacroReference amp that I used for more than 20 trouble free years. The new Crown XLS matches the performance of the MacroReference to my ears and lacks the fan noise that plagued the MacroReference when taxed.

I am using this to drive Klipsch RF-7s (horn driven) and with some tweaking on the receiver EQ it is fairly flat frequency response

I use mine for stage monitors and it is a great amp with an even frequency response and no coloration. As long as you put in good speakers, it will sound correct. My only concern is the RCA inputs could be bright. Shouldn't be using them anyway. Run balanced audio and don't look back.

It would be excellent in any home system. I have used Crowns for years. Very flat response across the whole band width.

Hi, I don't know how the A-7 sounds ( I would enjoy to hear your amp); but the UPA-200 sounds very good. I connected a pair of KEF Q-500 and the power and transparency is awesome; I liked more than a valve amp class A that I had in the past with the same speakers; the UPA-200 sounds more neutral, with more dynamics, and also I have never turned on the volume more than level 4 (in a scale from 0 to 10). I think you will not be disappointed with this amp; it is really an audiophile gem.

Its sounds great. But it's always better better with 1000watts or more. Mines is only 800watts. The dash radio plays an important role aswell as the amplifier. My amp is 3000watt and i have all 4 car speakers 250w each and 2 subs at 800w each all connected on my 5 channel amp.

This Sub powers my HT system, I'm running a 250 W Yamaha amp and it sounds amazing. This down facing amp is amazing, def worth the money. Music and Movies sound great. I would def recommend this amp. Also, I'm running 5 in ceiling Polk speakers

I think it puts out amazing sound, also there is a lot of tweeking that can be done to get the right sound you are looking for. Of course its not a rock and roll on stage amp-but it has worked well for the "garage band" type of playing

The amp is very quiet, there is no hum, I must iterate that all cables have to be the right resistance value on any amplifier no matter what brand you use just to make sure that all hum causing factors are eliminated.This amp will serve you fine and for the price I don,t think you will match it anywhere>

I installed a "Rockford Fosgate Punch 400-Watt Stereo Amplifier" for these speakers. I did not want anything really loud just a boost. It works great.

I would, but not that well cause this amp is only rated at 500 wats rms, and 2 12's at 400 a piece is more than it can handle. It would probably start to get warm or even hot.

It will produce sound, the quality will be questionable tho. I put 150w rms to mine and they sound amazing. Between 100w-200w would be ideal IMO. The more CLEAN power that you give them, the better they'll sound.

I think it would be. This amp give you practically any kind of sound you want. With the pre-programmed sounds and the ability to tweak them with Fender Fuse, you can fine tune it to your tastes. Definitely a highly recommended amp.

I am using the amp with the Yamaha 775 pre outs, and it is not louder but cleaner, especially at higher volumes.

This is a great amp.http://www.amazon.com/gp/r.html?R=1VT9WZRKT4420&C;=3TG14KBDH777U&H;=6ISVNJSFOJS0RV1FHACRNS5MDZMA&T;=C&U;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB00F0H88SY%2Fref%3Dpe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_2

Sure, that's the way i have it. Sounds great. Just check your amp power before, but normally it would work just fine.

yes, you will need an amplifier, but I think it will sound great on most anything.

it will sound good. louder than one might think. i love the little guy. i've had amps for way more $ and be equal or less than good. the el84 plus the 12x7 yadda yadda is the same as a Vox. A class too. sounds like a beatles amp, but raunchier. problems... the cheap ass plugs electric hook up thingsy is eggshellish. cut corners somehow i guess. if you can afford the speaker cab, i'd go for it. the speaker is voiced for the amp and breaks up when driven at the right time. lovely.

As long as u dont rasie the volume too much it should be fine but i would get a more powerful amp

Hank 51 and Thomas H. are correct, and I wholeheartedly agree with their comments. I've used mine as well with a high-powered vintage Quad (British manufacturer) amp, and they sound great. Just watch the volume level, as these guys have already stated.
