This power amp was bought to replace a Carver Cube that blew out after about 25 years of use. The price of the unit was my primary reason for this purchase.
My major complaint is that the dual cooling fans are too loud. At lower listening volumes, you can definitely still hear them running. I am going to have to figure out where I can mount this unit in an enclosed area that will mask the noise while still providing enough circulation for cooling, however since I don't plan on running this unit at high power very often, I don't believe that this will be a problem.
A minor niggle is that the unit also has no RCA-in jacks, I needed to run to Radio Shack and pick up a pair of RCA to mail 1/4 inch plugs to hook this up to my preamp. On the positive side, the unit seems to be well built, and it sounds great. From the owner's manual, which for some reason, is not available on Pyle's website, the unit puts out 250W X 2 at 0.1% distortion into 8 ohms on 2 channel stereo operation.
I guess that when Pyle calls this a "professional power amp" they really mean it.Get more detail about Pyle PTA1000 1000W Professional Power Amplifier.
