Fosgate Audionics FAA 1000.5 1000-watt Powerhouse Amplifier

Fosgate Audionics FAA 1000.5 Modular 5-Channel Class-G Amplifier Designed by Legendary engineer Jim Strickland, formerly of Hafler. Jim was responsible for the trans-ana amplifier design from his famous trans-nova studio reference line of amplifiers. When Fosgate acquired Hafler Jim became Vice President of Engineering for Fosgate Audionics. Hands down one of the best sounding amplifiers I have ever heard, the clarity and power of this amplifier is phenomenal. Many online reviews state how musical this amp sounds. I have used the amp in both a 2-channel and home theater setup with great results. One thing you can do is bi-amp your mains (That’s 800 watts RMS going to your mains) and then run your center channel off the 5th amplifier @ 200 watts. Make sure you have space for this amp it is a 62 pound beast. Info off the web: The FAA1000.5 features five slide-in mono amplifier modules, each rated at 200 watts. Circuitry is highly advanced, with a compact switch-mode power supply said to eliminate 60-Hz hum fields, and "Class G Trans*ana" topology for "tremendous power headroom and efficiency," and 12-volt remote triggers for operating blackout shades, projector lifts, etc. Rackmount hardware is available for those who need it. "A modular design approach allows the customer to configure the amplifier to his or her precise listening needs," explains Charlie Wood, Fosgate Audionics executive consultant. "The standard configuration is 200 watts x five with MOSFET circuit topology, delivering extraordinary reliability and sonic performance, meeting the listening needs of the most critical listener. Consumers are concerned with product obsolescence as home theater formats continue to change. The beauty of the FAA1000.5 is that you can change its amp configuration whenever you need to." "The Fosgate Audionics FAA 1000.5 was designed for the demanding home theater enthusiast that is looking for a significant performance improvement and a more dynamic home theater experience," explained Brian Carlsness, Fosgate Audionics Managing Director. "It’s the perfect solution for the consumer who owns an all-in-one receiver and is ready to go to the next level of performance that only high quality separate components can provide."
