The BasX A1 is a monoblock power amplifier that delivers 200 watts into 8 Ohms and 325 watts into 4 Ohms, with a rated THD+N of < 0.02%, and an A-weighted S/N ratio of 112 dB. The BasX A1 features a heavy-duty linear power supply, high-quality Class A/B amplification, transparent fault protection, and a trigger input and output. A high quality industry standard unbalanced RCA input enables the BasX A1 to be used with almost any preamp or processor and audiophile grade five way speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire. These features combine to enable the BasX A1 to deliver true audiophile performance and sound quality.
In addition to the features it shares with other BasX power amplifiers, as a true monoblock the BasX A1 also offers several other benefits that will be appreciated by dedicated audiophiles. Monoblocks offer the ultimate assurance that there will be no unwanted interaction between channels. The audio signal for each channel is handled by a separate amplifier, powered by its own heavy duty power supply, housed in its own separate chassis. This also gives you the option of minimizing the length of your speaker cables by locating each amplifier close to the speaker it powers.

Powerful, high quality amplifier. Great sound in all types of audio systems with any type of music. Beautiful, detailed sound and incredibly natural imaging without a trace of harshness or strain. Low noise level.
I recommend the purchase.

Strict appearance, nothing superfluous. Nice blue backlight. Sturdy housing. Reliable and high quality screw terminals, great sound, low noise, high quality parts and construction.
Solid, minimalism, sound, presence of DACs (acceptable quality), Bluetooth AptX HD codec.
The crossover is not fully implemented.
In general, I think in terms of price/sound/quality in combination with the mind this kit is excellent. At the audition, it was possible to compare with Rotel A12 MKII. The difference in favor of the Emotiva kit is heard. I have one serious complaint to the apparatus, which does not allow us to say about it - perfect. A crossover is built into the amplifier - access to the LF and HF with the frequency of section 90 Hz. It is bad that the frequency of the section and the steepness of the recession cannot be adjusted, but this is the half of trouble. The main trouble is not a signal level adjustment. Yes, usually it is on a subwoofer, but in my case, due to 160 watts (8th), the Umotiva A2 mind requires a lower level, not a subwoofer. An unambiguous recommendation for stereo, I do not recommend for configuration 2.1.

The quality for this money is worthy
There is no exit to the headphones Jack 6.3 mm, only 3.5. Not seriously
In general, the device is very good. Together with A2, it gives out excellent sound. The design is certainly old, but it comes to me. I chose the block system initially.

I bought a preliminary Emotiva PT amplifier - 1 and Emotiva A2 power amplifier. In pairs, this is just a bomb! 250W. On the channel, shakes any acoustics !!!

Emotiva asked a simple question: “Why can’t we have amazing audio and video sound at prices that don’t threaten our mortgage?”As high-end audio chased an ever-shrinking market with ever-more-costly gear, the price of sonic nirvana shot out of reach. New enthusiasts shook their heads and thought, “You know, a soundbar and a receiver may not be that bad.”At the same time high-end audio prices were climbing, Dan Laufman and his team were helping some of the best names in audio manufacture their gear. Dan saw the inefficiencies in the system and the ever-climbing prices, and decided to do something about it.Emotiva is comprised of true audio enthusiasts, engineers, and product specialists.Emotiva runs a lean organization without excess overhead and redundant levels of management. Everyone in the company, from the engineering team, to the manufacturing group, to the support staff, has your ultimate home entertainment experience in mind.This is what makes Emotiva different from many other home entertainment manufacturers.
