Product Description:
AudioSource Amp 100 is a power amplifier that is versatile enough to be used to drive speakers with different impedance ratings in stereo mode. Ot also allows bridging the 2 separate internal amp circuits for higher power sound to one channel. Though designed for home use, the bridge-application makes this suitable for use in bars and restaurants, where stereo channeling might not be considered, but high quality output is definitely an issue.

Amazon.com Product Description:
A favorite of audiophiles everywhere, the AudioSource Amp 100 two-channel power amplifier is built to deliver powerful music, pure and simple, with few extra controls to get in the way. Listeners can use the Amp 100 as an independent stereo amp (50 watts x 2 into 8 ohms) when used with a preamp, as a second zone amplifier in multi-room applications, or as a rear-channel amplifier in a 6.1- and 7.1-channel system. Combine the Amp 100 with an additional monoblock amp (the Amp 100 delivers 150 watts RMS of bridged power) and a preamp and listeners can independently drive two front left/right speakers or two rear speakers, further clarifying each channel to create dynamic, high-end sound. To connect additional components to the amp, use the included stereo inputs with automatic priority override (for connecting to a source such as a receiver, CD player, or preamplifier) or the auxiliary output for creating a multi-amp setup.
The amp boasts a precise frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and total harmonic distortion of 0.02 percent. Additional features include A, B, or A+B speaker selector switches, front-panel mounted volume and balance knobs, and five-way binding posts that work with both bare wire and banana plugs. Plus, at 16.5 by 2.9 by 9.25 inches (W x H x D), the device should fit comfortably in most rack mount or home entertainment setups. All AudioSource amps are backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

I bought this product for 1 of 2 uses.
1. Use as a amp for a variable output from a flat panel tv to drive 2 speakers.
2. Use as a amp for a variable output from a MAC pro to drive 2 speakers.
It FAILED in both instances. As an amp, sure it works...when it wants to. The main feature I liked was the automatic on/off setting so that it could be used in a GREEN environment---so to speak. That part works....the only PROBLEM is when you are watching TV and a slightly ... Read More
Rating:  - No good for dual sources
This product had great potential and it does everything promised as long as you only use 1 source and you attach it to the LINE2 input. LINE2 is the default input meaning whenever there isn't any signal on LINE1 the unit instantly switches back to LINE2. The issue is with the "instant" result. When I play a DVD movie through LINE1 the AMP100 annoyingly switches back to LINE2 every time the audio goes quiet - even in between dialog. The switch makes a discernible "click" and usually does not return ... Read More

I was looking for a specific solution for my outdoor speaker needs; I wanted to run my outdoor Yamaha speakers in mono mode as they were situated in different areas of the backyard and stereo would not have worked very well. After a bit of online research I came upon AudioSource Amps. At first glance the entry level 100 appeared rather basic but I didn't need an additional receiver or a powerhouse amp (it's just for background music) so it seemed to be the right solution. I read numerous other reviews ... Read More
Rating: - JUNK!!
My GF bought this amp as a present for me, and now she's very unhappy. We opened the shipping box, which was 5 times the size needed, removed the amp and hooked it up. We couldn't get it to do anything advertised! Nothing hooked up to it produced any sound. Only the green "ON" light and the red speaker lights worked. I called the 800 number for tech support at the mfgr. of this AudiolessSource Amp 100, and, after the normal recorded voice menu, when transferred, the phone just rang and rang. No support or ...

Rating: - Works Great!
Used in the home office with two inputs, one from a DVD/CD desktop player and another from my computer SoundBlaster card, through to two Sony speakers. No B speakers hooked up. The performance is excellent and the line sensing feature works perfectly. The system turns the green power light to red (same as the line A regular color) when there is no line feed of sound. The only time this has not worked well was on just one YouTube video I was watching where the sound was very weak and the amp kept sensing it ... Read More
