  • Amazed at what I got for the price - happy so far.
Style: 3000 Watt Pattern Name: Amplifier
The amp is very nice. My fans are quiet at my power level. In fact, my computer fans are louder; perhaps after running with more power and heat they will kick-in. Construction is very nice. I do not believe the power rating stated (peak or rms).... I believe it is less, but without testing it......nevertheless, this amp is terrific. Clean, great sound for the price and works very well with my OSD Audio Pre-1 mixer / preamp. My speakers are home-made. Running (2) 8" woofers (low freq woofer and a low-mid woofer), a Bema horn from France when they were available.... running with my JBL 2445J , which is a 2446 Compression Mid Driver (16 ohm), and running a bullet tweeter. Crossovers are home made using 12GA wire (yes, very big and will never burn out). Anyway, I have only been using this amp for a few days but no regrets. In the future I will probably order 2 more of these amps to allow for 5.1 system, but still allow me to run 1 amp for 2ch music. To me, running the 5.1 / 7.1 / 9x /11x system never sound the same for listening to simple music on 2 channels. Many of the new and former stereo's over the past 20 years with all their "sound effects" do not support adequate current to drive speakers. They put too much of the special effects garbage (like toilet bowl, bedroom, auditorium, etc.... sound effects which are useless to me) and they could have made a better amp section. I also love Mac amps but could not afford at this time - maybe later. In the mean time I am happy with it. I will update as time goes on. ... show more

  • From a critical audio snob, the RPA9 is pretty good!
Style: 3000 Watt Pattern Name: Amplifier
So coming from a self proclaimed (and friends and family too) audio snob, I can honestly say the Rockville RPA9 is a pretty decent amp. I’ve had it running in my home setup for three days and can honestly say this amp has great sound. All in all I’m pretty happy with it. I’m a collector of fine vintage speakers such as Cerwin Vega, Advent, DCM, Infinity and JBL all from the 80s and 90s. I strongly prefer Crown A/B amplifiers but wanted to give the RPA9 a try. Here’s what I think: Pros: It’s an A/B amp which I prefer to Class D. Class D just sounds so empty and flat. Which is a good thing because you can EQ the sound to your liking. But I enjoy the full bodied warm sound of AB. There is zero noise. Meaning no hiss or hun coming from the speakers when idle or under load For an AB amp it’s very light Connections are easy to get to and manipulate Operationally it’s quiet. The dual fans don’t bother me Both channels seemingly have equal power output. One does not seem to have more output than the other. My ears are trained for this. XLR balanced inputs and outputs to connect more amps if you desire. Cons: The power supply and transformer are very small. This amp will not give you outdoor concert levels. I believe when this amp has its gain knobs all the way up you are truly using all of its power. There’s no extra headroom. The paint work on mine is full of flaws. The power cord is really small. I’m talking 14 gauge with no built in filter. All in all this isn’t a horrible amp and I do recommend it if you’re looking for an inexpensive amp for your vintage speakers. At its price point and what I’m using it for, I’ll be keeping it inside the rack happily. It will power my Cerwin Vega D2s without any problems. ... show more

  • Still going strong.
Style: 3000 Watt Pattern Name: Amplifier
Okay, I bought a pair of these back in June but decided to wait a little before posting a review - mostly because of a few "reliability" issues noted by others. I can happily report I have had no such problems. Admittedly working with those amps had a rough start: While they are exactly 2u high, the holes in the flanges force them to not align with the rest of the gear in my rack. Yeah, I can do puzzles and stuff but after running through the possible installation permutations it was clear proper alignment was not possible. In the end I just ended up drilling new holes in the amp's flanges. See the attached pics. The first is a screen shot from the Rockville video and the second a picture of my mounting , washers have subsequently painted black so it actually looks less dorky. Notice the gap (unacceptable!) in the screenshot of the video and the complete lack of gap in my rig. There is an annoying screw on the bottom of the unit that sticks out and grinds on whatever is mounted below it, in my case, the top of the other amp. It is THE screw that holds the heat sync to the case, nice. Solution was to countersink the screw a little, requiring a little drill and tap of the heat sync and minor deformation of the case (dent it in at the screw head) so that the screw head is now flush with the rest of the bottom of the case. Fans are NOISY, not very noticeable in a DJ situation, but since my rig substitutes as my computer gaming sound amp system (oh yeah it rocks!), the excessive fan noise required a little parts swap , no biggie. Quiet fans are pretty cheap. That being said, now they are mounted and running, they rock. They in no way match the specs in the website, but they do put out enough power to punch a couple of Rockville RSG 12.4 speakers and a pair of Rockville SBG1128 woofers well enough to make sufficient sound levels for "recreational" level DJ-ing. Paying gigs would require more serious gear, but for what I spent on it all, it is quite sufficient. In spite of their shortcomings, they pack a fair bit of power for the buck so I'll likely pick up a couple more, eventually. Again, I have been fortunate enough to not have experienced any reliability issues. These amps just keep running. ... show more
