Purchased just 5 weeks ago to partner my Denon AVR-X4400h. Once it was hooked up I was so impressed by the improvement I went and also purchased the Emotiva BasX A-700 and added two additional rear surround speakers to my set up. Hence the sale.
The Emotiva BasX A-500 has been highly reviewed and is currently retailing at 699 new. The amplifier was a demo model from a very reputable home cinema specialist with no more than 10 hours use. It comes complete with all original packaging (double boxed) cloth covers and manual and accessories. including 2 spare fuses.. See pics.
It has only been used by myself for 5 weeks.
The BasX A-500 offers true audiophile sound quality at what is regarded to be a ridiculously affordable price. By connecting this power amplifier to your AVR’s pre-out phono/RCA sockets it can take over the driving of your home cinema speakers, providing improved detail and dynamics. It absolutely transformed my system. So much so I went and bought another! 🙂 The amplifier can also be connected to an AV Processor to provide a really top class system.
OverviewThe BasX A-500 is a five channel power amplifier that offers true audiophile sound quality at an affordable price. The BasX A-500 includes a carefully chosen set of important features, including a heavy-duty power supply, high-quality Class A/B amplification, transparent audiophile-quality fault protection, a trigger input and output, and industry standard unbalanced audio inputs. Modern manufacturing techniques, and careful design and parts selection, have enabled us to deliver all of this performance and great sound quality in the BasX A-500 at a far lower price than you might imagine.The BasX A-500 delivers 110 watts RMS per channel at less than 0.1% THD into 8 ohms (two channels driven); THD+N of less than 0.02%; and a signal to noise ratio of 120 dB referenced to full power. This makes the BasX A-500 the ideal amplifier to power a great sounding 5.1 channel surround sound system, a great way to upgrade the power amplifier section of your AVR, and a perfect companion to our MC-700 surround sound processor.BasX: The Foundation of a Superb Audio SystemThe goal of putting together an exceptional audio system is to enrich your life with outstanding sound. It isnt about spending a lot of money, or about fancy knobs and jewel encrusted remote controls; its all about playing the music. As a leading manufacturer of home audio equipment, weve noticed that a lot of people still dont have high-quality audio in their lives. Some folks dont have the budget to buy good equipment, while others dont have the time to spend trying to figure out how to use it and thats exactly why we developed our new Emotiva BasX products.
