Anybody have any experience with this amp? Just bought one off the gon picking it up next week. It's my first amp. Any known issues I should look for?

Thanks

    Not sure about any issues but I do know it is a good sounding amp. And don't let the specs fool you it has reserves for days. Very strong amp and very warm B&K sound.

    Of course I am biased I really like B&K amps.

    Thanks that's pretty much what I've gathered from my searches online. I'm looking forward to it.

    Glad your diggin' that B&K Tony. They are first on my list when asked for a recommendation and on the used market they have become somewhat of a steal.

    Everything B&K ever made was no short of fantastic. Congrads on the find. No Issues I know of.

    I love my Ref 200.2. Plenty of jam, with a smooth, warm sound. Uprgrade the power cable and you will have all the current you could want.

    Got this hooked up last night after getting a power cable and ICs from signal cable. I really like the way it sounded playing music. Haven't done any HT yet but I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
