This is an excellent amplifier for a very good price. I was thoroughly impressed by everything from the packaging all the way to the sound and everything in between.
For those of us with relatively restricted budgets, you’ll be hard-pressed to do better for the money.
wow, almost 80lbs, this thing is a monster, it better sound great and have a lot of power for this weight
wanted 1 myself but the price got me ! did find a Outlaw model 7000 refurbished for $800.00 love it works great with the harmon kardon 2.1 signiture series i bought teen years ago! one is a 130 watts the other 100 watts! put them with my Pioneer VSX-LX503 a 11.2 processor i use the preouts it sounds so good it is not funny!
I have had the Mono 7 channel amp for more than a year now and could not be more satisfied. I do have the XLR connections. I recall that sale of the prior XLR versions that was very much a firesale as they blew the last of their version out the door
Glad to find someone that keeps it real and don't try to sell the BS of paying ridiculous money for brand names.
200 X 5 Watts: Should satisfy an audiophile like myself. I dig it!
I’m glade you made the purchase as you said before about snake oil with the AC infinity fans it’s a wise move and keeping the equipment for the longevity it’s for a pease of mind 👍🏻 thank you for the informative video🙏
Just ordered one today can’t wait till it gets here they are 1599 now but with tax and shipping it was a little over 1800 shipped
Thanks for your honesty. That's exactly my goal, save money and get max performance. This amp is on my list and I'm patient enough to get it refurbished. Please let me know which center speakers you recommend. I just watched Erin's video on why most center channel speakers suck. The only ones he had good things to say were svs ultra center and kef 650c.
I've put a 200mm (7-1/7 inch) computer fan on top pulling the air out on mine, works awesome. FYI, a cheap 300W computer power supply to power the fan will do. Google will tell you how to make the power supply work without being plugged in a computer, very easy.
Price for this amp here in Canada is just north of 2K. I'm on the fence with purchasing this amp for my 7.1.2. Only other amp that can probably compete with the Monolith (power rating wise) would be Emotiva's XPA-5 gen 3 which is pricier, or Tonewinner TW-AD5300 which is about $1,600. Marantz MM7055 seems overpriced and inaccurately advertised. Besides buying a used amp (which I'm hesitant to do), the Monolith or the Tonewinner would be something to consider for reasonably priced.
That clueless look at the start as you wait for your timer 😂😂😂😅
You got a great deal on this refurbished amp. Thanks for the update. How's the lexicon been!? Great deal on that too!
I got a 5 channel Carver 100 watt per channel amp with multichannel Pre Amp 17v I think it should be able to push my 4 ohm S150's. How much power does the monolith draw? my 7 channel B&K can use 1350 watts.
I have 5 svs prime satellites rated at 150 watts rms and a sub. Do you think the speakers can handle 200 watts power from this amplifier? Thanks.
Been pleading with my dealer to get me the Monolith 7x, but they say there’s no stock here in South Africa🇿🇦😒 I then asked them to get me the Emotiva XPA-3 Gen.3 then, again nothing in the country! Was told that the company that imports them from overseas has closed shop! Hopefully someone takes over and start bringing the stuff in.🤞
Crutchfield currently has a SMOKING deal on Focal Chora 826's, at $699/ea ($500 off!!!), so....I ordered 7 of them and now I need an amp to drive them. I'd been looking at the Monolith 7x200 amp for a while now, and it looks like this will be my upgrade. Can't wait!
Thanks for the review, I've been interested in monolith amps for a while. Rotel, Outlaw and Parasound amps seems to be over priced for what you get.
LOVE your channel my friend!! Great, honest work… BOOM!!
Do you feel this monolith is clearly superior to the Outlaw 7000x? I am running 7 JBL 590 and 4 Polk owm3 sitting 10 feet away from lcr .
I have only heard good things about the monolith line from mono price. I think you should purchase that sub if you were able to get the funds together.
