phase linear amplifiers


back in the early 70's I bought a phase linear 400 amp. never will buy phase linear again. in 2000. it fried 3 of my speakers. later on I read they they were known to do this. they were  cheap money for the big watts but were not well designed well to work under stress. I have McIntosh now. no worrys!

g_nakamoto, you should re-read your post. You had the amp for nearly 30 years before it broke down. 25-plus years of service is commendable for any amplifier.

I’d say it was pretty well designed to last that long. After 20 years you should have had it serviced, it probably would’ve lasted another 20 years.

It seems that you’ve read a few negative posts about Phase Linear and decided to pile on. Your post has no merit.
