This has only effect on the source, not the tape. Instead of using Maxell, recording with Ampex tapes the output level must be turned up. It's not much leveling up, while 75% can be adjusted below calibrating level. I rather preffered a 60/40 proportion. Outside the deck the BIAS can vary +/-5%, which is enough for the latest produced tapes. Fayetteville Mobile Truck Repair

supperb power amplifier

I just recommended to this amps by my friend, and lucky that I can found this amp secondhand with good condition. I was quite surprised with the quality of sound that this amp can delivered. The sound is crisp and with high detail, it is definitely outrank my old Carver TFM25. But one thing this amp lack of, the dynamic is not as I expected, somehow it won't give you the power for driving heavy speaker (low sensitivity)

When all is said and done this is wonderful sounding amp. Drives power hungry speakers with ease and a bargain at today's asking prices.

I have two Proceed Amp 2s and an Amp 3. I'm trying to buy another Amp 2 to complete a 7.1 system. These are very fine amps that have been in my systems for nearly 20 years. When Madrigal was in business, they provided great support. I don't think the same can be said for Harmon International, the company that bought Madrigal, but I've been able to find local service when needed, and little has been needed.

I am using 1 set of Proceed Pre and 2 set of Amp 2 to drive a B&W803, the speaker is well controlled by the amp, the sound stage is wide and deep, the voice of the female singer is standing between two speaker at approximate 6 feet height with a baseball size mouths shape. The bass is powerful and better than a lot of amp.

a monster D " energy and of detail.
really very very good amplifier
I have to have enormously amplifier none does not have details it and power of this amplifier.
really better than krell, electrocompaniet, mcintosh ......

Could have beefier speaker binding posts

This review is for the BPA 2, which is the evolved version of the AMP 2. I personally do not believe that there are large differences in sound quality between good amplifiers. With that being said however, one word immediately comes to mind with this amp: "Smooth". I have never run out of power, and I have never wanted for anything better or different from what this amplifier provides. Just a shame that Proceed amps are no more. Too big a jump in price to get to Mark Levinson. I know these can be had now for < $1000, which is just frankly obscene for the performance that you get. A good amp is a good amp no matter if it is "obsolete" or not. Weighs 47 lbs, which is a substantial portion of a lot of companies 5 channel amps! One of the best amps I have ever heard.

Sound is Mark levinson but the amp2 beats them in reliability (and looks); check out the postings on ML's latest amps on this website! never heard of any trouble with an amp2...

Absolutely unbeatable at the price, I simply can't believe people are selling these at under 1000 dollars. If you ask me Proceed audio will become sought after collectors items in a few years. As for people complaining of a lack of bass: get a better speaker! It is the same class as a Bryston 4b-st and that says something!!!
