I'm proud to say I've gotten my B&K amplifier in the mail Friday and to report it's just as good and nice sounding as I imagined! This thing has taken the edge off of the highs that my Pioneer just cold not take off with its built in amp. In addition to that I can now understand peoples voices a lot better without having to crank up the volume (Is there a term for this?).

I'd also love it if someone could direct me to a manual for this amp not that there is much to it I'd still love to have a copy.

Thanks,
Jason

    Nice pick up. Love B&K amps myself. Definately a good match for brighter speakers. The term your looking for is "current". Have fun with the new toy.

    When I was testing each channel with my test speaker I would turn the amp off and it would stay on for maybe 30 seconds before the sound would go completely off. Is that what you call current also?

    I haven't had a chance to run the MCACC setup just yet but as of now it's pretty awesome with the MCACC settings that were made with the internal amp. If figure my sub is probably set too low since I'm getting more volume per channel with less turn of the volume knob than I did with the internal amp.

    That's the power supply caps discharging. I don't think it's directly related to the amount of current the amp can put out.
