I purchased the C272 about a year ago upgrading from my 100W x 5 Yamaha receiver. The speakers being fed are power hungry 15" Cerwin Vegas (E715's) and let me tell you the difference was amazing!! USA Mobile Truck Repair Weakness:

Strength:
Besides the fact that the unit weighs about 40 pounds, just to still be operational after 40 years of use without an overhaul is a testimony to a solid build quality. In addition, they are very attractive units with smooth controls. Hialeah Auto Glass Repair Weakness:

The best advice I can give is purchase your speakers in a store that allows for returns, because the showroom, in all of its acoustically-pristine splendor, is NOT your living room, den or bedroom. Trenton Suspension Repair Weakness:

This collection of reviews helped me decide to buy a Hafler DH-220 on Ebay and I'm glad I did. I bought it along with a DH-100 solid state preamp for $260 + $40 shipping. I bought it from a dealer who said it was in excellent condition. I have no idea if it came from a kit or the factory. I don't know if anything has ever been replaced or upgraded with it. But I do know that it delivers entry level audiophile quality sound at as cheap as you can hope to get into the market.

Detailed, transparent sound, with particularly good bass.

Strength:
simple, solid, trouble free, cheap, clean
Weakness:
can get a little warm if you don't give them some room. Happened into this forum while looking for help repairing my old Hafler. I bought it new in the late 70's-early 80's. I have been driving a pair of EPI 20 plus speackers all of this time without one problem. It is amazing how basic the Hafler is and how cleanly it drives the great old EPIs. I chuckled a little when I read about the guy who found his dads old Hafler in the garage! He seemed surprised that we old farts in the stoneages had anything that sounded good!

Strength:
Bass, power, ability to get extremely loud. A good first amp as these are about 21 years old now. A good amp to DJ smaller parties.
Weakness:
can get really hot easily, will blow fuses if your not careful, can have a filtering problem (at least in my experiences with this amp coupled with the compatible DH-110 Hafler preamp) This review is for the DH-220. This was my first power amplifier for home/car back in 1994 when I was 16. I owned this amp from 1994 to 1997 until I decided to concentrate on car audio and the amp was giving me some problems with humming and I had to keep filtering my preamp to help with the problems. This was a good first amp for me as I learned a little more about home audio since then. When working properly with the Cerwin Vega VS-120's I would shake not only my house but houses 100 yards away with the windows shut which explains the power that it put out with the correct speakers. The power rating on DH-220 is 115 RMS into 8 ohms. Similar Products Used: Audiosource AMP Three which I now own with no problems! |
