AMP150 180W Dual Source, Two-Channel High Definition Amplifier

10 user rated 4.6 out of 5 stars

What I really wanted was a 12 channel amp. to run 6 sets of speakers. However I didn't have the depth in my cabinet. I bought this to run just my outdoor speakers (I have four sets on a Pyle Pro speaker selector)). *A side note on speaker selectors - If this is how you plan to run your system, beware that all of the speaker selectors I saw were not rated for enough watts to bridge this amp into (130W). Overall, so far so good. I've had at least two pair running at the same time (rear patio and garage) and it seems to put out enough power. I am not into listening to overly loud music and don't claim to be an expert. Just your average Joe looking to get music throughout the house. Works great for me. - PSUgrad

I got no output to the speakers until I discovered a tiny gain control on the rear of the unit, adjusted with a small screwdriver, that makes the difference between no sound and what sounds like megawattage. It wasn't obvious in the manual at all. - Cyberdoc

I had purchased the OSD AMP300 before and very happy about the sound quality and craftmanship of the product. Now I need a smaller amp for my outdoor setup, and I found AMP150 perfect matching for amy application. Like other OSD products, the sound quality is very good and price is very competitive. Highly recommend for 2 or 4 pairs speakers powering. It can produce some very good bass. - Richard

The AMP150 180W Dual Source, Two-Channel High Definition Amplifier is a very nice product that I have setup with Bose speakers, a sub woofer, and connected it to an Apple Express Wireless to create an wireless music environment. [...] Will definitely be ordering again! - forg43

I got this amp to power my whole hose ambient audio speakers. My receiver was up to the job of doing it but I wanted a little extra power and I liked the dedicated bass adjustment. But my primary reason was to protect my $1000 Denon amp from damage and use this amp as a sacrificial lamb. I have outdoor speakers and in-ceiling speakers all throughout the house so I was worried about Murphy's law like a lighting strike or something hitting the house and going back to my receiver. At least this way it has to go through my speakers, volume controller, speaker selector, and then this amp, before it gets to my zone 2 RCA output on my Denon. Pros: - Plenty of power for over 14 8" in ceiling speakers all running at the same time in separate zones. I'm only using about half its volume/power range for all my speakers and that's more than plenty of power and sound. - Small form factor that is suited for either shelf mounted or rack mounted. Includes bottom rubber feet for shelf mounting and rack mount brackets as well. Both installed out the box. - The Bass feature is great to adjust the bass output to in celing speakers which normally don't reproduce bass very well. - Like the fact that you can also use a pair of speaker wires as an input rather than just RCA plugs. With RCA plugs from my receiver I lose the volume control from my receivers amp. But if I use the speakers input I can adjust and mute the volume with my remote. Also good for connecting to audio devices that don't have any RCA outs. Technically you can strip the wires off a pair of headphones and plug them into this amp and power some pretty large speakers from an MP3 player. Cons - The power LED is really one of those blue LED's from a flashlight. So it is absolutely blinding! I mean it really hurts to look right at it. Unless you have this in a cabinet or cover it with some tape it will illuminate your room in the dark. - I like the built in fan as it helps with cooling. But it is pretty loud for such a small fan. Now an issue if you have it in a cabinet or an enclosure. But if you get this to use as a bookshelf or desktop amp within arms reach the fan noise may disturb you. It seems to be a temp controlled fan as it is constantly switching on and of and changing speeds. - Sean

I use the amp to drive four pairs of speakers in 4 rooms thru a selector. So far, it's doing a pretty good job. I had to play with the levels a little to keep it from being over-driven, but I'm satisfied with it's performance. If it lasts a long time, I'll be very happy with it. - Buck

I got this amp to drive the speakers in 4 rooms. I initially was over-driving the amp, apparently, because I was getting some distortion, even though the red warning lights were not on. After I cut the output a little, it seemed to be a lot happier. I can't say the sound is great because each room has a different sound, some better than others. My ceiling speakers were installed by a contractor, so I'm not sure he did them all properly. So I'm not blaming anything on the amp. I would say the amp is adequately performing it's designed task. The shipping was quick enough, the price was reasonable, and I'm thus far happy with my purchase. - Buck

Great quality, easy use , magnificent sound - AVS TECH

After a month of usage my prior positive review still stands. Now I'm just doing it again as a certified buyer of the product. I've had numerous house parties and no less than 5 of my guest were so pleased with the sound of my setup that they wanted all the part numbers to duplicate it in there homes.
