Scott, I can't remember, what speakers are you driving with your MPS1?

Well it was more complicated than that, but it's a long story which I will share some day when I have time.

Lonnie pretty much gave up without a fight, and I suspect it may have been due to his previous inability to fix your situation. He said, "Well I'll test out the amp to see if it's up to spec if you want, but . . . " I was very disappointed because I thought the amp sounded great and the price was right, but I'm glad I don't have to send one of those guys back for repair very often, it was over a hundred bucks just to return it.

You had to pay to return it?

Yup.

That sucks, how long did you have it, wasn't it still under warranty? This is just my opinion, but there is no reason an amp like that with those specs, should even break a sweat driving the 80's, something is just wrong.

I think I had my MPS-1 for almost 3 months with all the back/forth trial and error to resolve the issue, they agreed to give me a full refund. Sorry for your troubles.

One would presume a design flaw, I suffered with it for just under a month, I was happy to put it behind me as a failed experiment, too-good-to-be-true-I-shoulda-known-better, lately I'm trying not to resist my karma, which currently seems to be that whenever I try to go for a bargain or a shortcut it winds up costing me more in the long run to get what I want, puts a strange spin on the pursuit of the "sweet spot" that most of us here on the forums are trying to aim for.

Man, I have that same karma.

M80's. When I first got my system set up I would push 120-125 dB for extended periods and my DMC-1 (pre-pro) was actually warmer the the MPS-1!

Scott

I'm really surprised you had to pay return shipping given the problems you described with it. Bummer.
