Or are there? Is that RMS, Peak, Music Power, Peak Music Power? If it's not RMS it's a phony spec.

450 watts per channel @8 ohms or 750 watts @4 ohms. They are RMS figures! They aren't the best of amps but for someone who does a small party once every couple of months these chinese things will probably last a while.

The inputs are the deal-killer, IMHO. No balanced input = no buy. :roll:

I thought my Berry ep 2500 was cheap, this is nearly half the price!
Cheap way of owning a back up amp though and 450 watts @ 8 ohms for 175 quid is bloody cheap. I don't suppose you'd want to run it flat out every night but like I said for an emergency it's a bargain.
