... used. It's all very easy to use and looks the biz. Reviews state that it sports a wide dynamic range playback, whilst supporting a variety of high-grade audio sources - this is true to a certain extent. It does contain great clarity in a lot of musical performance especially in the mid range frequency. The overall sound to be sounds very harsh and there's no sympathy so it I find. Fine if you just want to play your CDs through it, but attempting to complete a mix is virtually impossible and impracticable. Bas...more

Having a home studio means that I have to pay good attention to detail to whatever goes in it.

With these controls the owner of the amp can control the outcoming sound in many levels and the controls work well. As far as I know the amplifier has ... Read the complete review

I bought a 500AE for my dad who is a classical music buff and needed to update his rather ancient hi-fi. Connecting the new amplifier to his elegant Kef IQ3 speakers left us both staring speechlessly at each other: the tonal balance, bass definition (all too often a problem with budget systems) and overall competence of the sound is just in a different league to other affordable amplifiers. So much so, that I went home and ordered a second PMA-500AE for myself. Mine is coupled to Mordaunt-Short's award-winning 902i bookshelf speakers - and it's completely transformed them. Audio quality: The very best thing a critical listener can say about any ... Read the complete review
