DBX BX-1 Configurable Power Amplifier TOTAL BEAST - SOLD
OK power amp muscle heads - here we have a DBX BX-1 amp that's totally "beast-mode." Can be 2, 3 or 4 channel configure for bi amping, with a subwoofer and or 4 channel for media system/home theater. These amps were built in Newton Mass and are very sought after as they were pretty highly rated in the 80s by Stereophile magazine. These DBX, BX-1s went hard against the Threshold & Levinson amps of the time period and were favored strongly vs the aforementioned. This analogy is used way too often but, DBX amplifiers have a very tube like presentation. We use this BX-1 to drive some KEF, Reference Model 3 and these speakers have NEVER sounded so full and totally balanced. So this monster pumps out 400 watts per channel RMS x 2 into 8 ohms & 800 watts per channel RMS x 2 into 4 Ohms. In 4 channel mode they are 100 watts per channel but have tons of headroom. Unit weighs in at approximately 100 lbs boxed - a beast in anyones setup. Been completely run through here by our in house ma
