Pretty new to the world of hi-fi and I have a question regarding cheap amps like the Fosi V3, and this question might be a bit short sighted or obvious to some of you who know more than me.
Essentially, what would be the benefit or how does an amp from a company like Cambridge Audio or Pro-Ject or even Schiit compete with amps from Fosi with lower power output, even when tested by resources like ASR?
To add to this, I understand that power is not everything, but even when it comes to signal to noise ratio and other measurements, it seems that some of these cheap chinese amps are still outperforming claimed measurements by other brands. And so with that being said, what reason would someone have for going for an AXA25 over the Fosi V3 or similar amp.
(I wish I could phrase this question better, but it’s hard to put this into words as a noob).
Learned as a teenager at the swapmeet trying to build my first car stereo.
If it says 1000watts and doesn’t cost half the rated power it ain’t making half that power at any quality. At least in the 90s lol
I’m trying to think of 1000W at $500 fully packaged that’s actually good beyond bass frequencies, even nowadays and coming up blank.
Car audio I like the JL Audio still and I’ve been out of the scene a few decades
You can get two Behringer A800s for under $600 on sale, which gives you 500W per channel in bridged mode. They’re ugly, but there are probably not many better options for cheap, clean, fanless power.
I was told that if you check the fuses on a car Amp it will roughly be what the amp can put out not sure how true that is though
It tells a pretty good story
It’s true of all amps, not sure car audio. These days some amp companies try to hide the fuse rating in photos and specs.
Aiyima a07 got 90w per channel for 100usd? Its also clean without clipping.
