Behringer A500 Amplifier: Objective Test Results

[highfihoney]

I had two 20 amp lines available and I ran two more. I have 3 on one 3 on another, the sub amp by itself and all the other stuff on the last. So I got Juice too

glad to hear it,good wall power made all the difference in the world for me,every time i turned my amps on it seemed like my wife wanted to vacume or use her iron & we would trip a circut ,after getting 20 amp lines i have no worries now.

im also interested in seeing some nude pic's of the amp's when you get time.

Are we allowed to post nudity on the forums?

I will have plenty of time now, I just was laid off from my job Oh well, we all saw it coming.

Jeff,

Sorry to hear about the job. Hopefully everything will work out.

Thanks, it will. I actually just turned one down 2 days ago. Not enough money. There are a ton of tech jobs out there and we will be ok. Thanks for the concern.

hear that as well. Laid up or laid off "sucks" but R & R Ninja said,"this will give me more time on the forum now". So then take the time and have some fun.
Regards, BILL

Ok... I decided to try alittle experiment.

I borrowed one of the backup amps from our PA system today. As you can see, it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. It's a PAS 800 amp and I can find absolutely nothing about it online. Whats cool is that it has RCA inputs, although they completely rusted. LOL.




OH MY!!!!!

I can't freakin believe the sound! I pulled out my CD collection and have been listening to music for 2 hours. Everything is so clear and powerful. Unbelievable difference. Even my wife who could usually care less wanted me to put on her Prince and Reba Cd's.

I have got to sell some stuff! I want PowerAmps now!

Those are Klipsch right? I'm surprised you'd notice such a difference on sensitive speakers like that.

How about level matching?

Like I said, huge difference. Just can't say enough for huge power reserves. When I would listen to Cd's in stereo mode before, things would get a little jumbled at louder levels. Not actually distorted I don't think, just a loss of detail and focus. Keep in mind my receiver is no slouch, Yamaha RX-V3200, but it can't compete with this beef.

What impresses me most is this amp is beat to hell. The RCA inputs are rusty and the thing is clogged with dust. I couldn't find any RCA stereo cables so I went to Walmart and bought a 4.00 pair just to try this. I'm sure this could only get better with better amps and cabling.

The speakers are actually Acoustech. 96db horns similar to the Klipsch. I read somewhere that they are produced in the same factory in China as the Klipsch reference series.

As far as level matching, my towers in 5.1 are somewhat louder with this amp. I turned the gains to about 2:00 when watching War of the Worlds last night.

I am now thinking of 4 Behringer A500's, 3 in mono for the fronts and 1 stereo for the rear surrounds. Actually, more that just thinking, I am obsessing over this now.
