  • Those Cambridge Model 12's have got to be at least 30 years old. I had a set I ended up giving to my kid. They were fun to horse around with when portable CD players were a thing.

    Mark me down as someone who prefers passive subwoofers.
  • According to the datasheet the maximum recommended voltage is 53.5v @ 4 ohms. I think that it would be interesting to see just what it would do at that voltage with unlimited current.
  • @enlightenCA
    I really enjoy these videos. Thumbs up👍👍
  • @brian6029
    Thanks for these kind of test. They are very informative. 😎👍👍
  • @davidgilpin5200
    This is Dick Rickulus' favorite amp now! "Lying to ya! Lying to ya!"
  • Solid review, as always! You queried, who uses passive subwoofers these days? Quite a few people have discovered the wonderful qualities of vintage loudspeakers' bass drivers. My library system has a Wharfedale W40 (vintage ca. 1961) with the mid-range and treble speakers disconnected and the bass speaker hooked up to a mono sub-woofer power amplifier.
  • @TokeBoisen
    I could easily see this kinda design being popular with DIY'ers in terms of who uses passive subs. Used as a desktop setup with a pair of cheap, compact speakers and a decent DIY 8" or 10" sub, this would do quite well I think.
  • @devencherry8976
    love the videos.. keep up the great work! I'm wondering, will you be reviewing the new jp 93 soon? I've ordered one, so im eagerly awaiting the amp dyno tests for it..
  • Although I'm not in the market for such a unit, I STILL use a large passive sub(s) today.
  • The fact it has a digital input is rather surprising and impressive. Class D amplifiers baby.
  • @stanky1219
    My wife uses a much older Fosi at her desktop. And the passive subwoofer is actually a 12” TruAudio powered sub that I found with a DOA plate amp. She’s been using her Fosi 2.1 amp for years now. Never fails.
  • @Budgethifiamps
    Nice video Big D,I've been looking at several AIYIMA products lately, when will you be able to test their new A70 Stereo Amp?This one comes with a PFFB and is paired with a DC48V power supply, so I'd like to see how it performs in terms of power
  • @hpjunkie69
    It's funny how Fosi modelled this amp after the true ratings as MC351 = 3 CH / 51watts RMS @ 8 ohms
