Hi all,

I am assuming the A-760X is a common ground amp. Correct? I remember reading the M-500t was not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also does anyone know where to get an owners manual for this puppy? I found the service manual but no owners manual.

Thanks!

    If it works You wont be dissappointed. I have the A-753x 250 watt x 3 running my RTi A7's and CSi A4. I couldnt find an owners manual ethire but did find a service manual on ebay. It has all the schematics for the different cirucits. I though it would be nice to have incase I ever have to have it repaired.

    Got it and it works fine except for a slightly broken binding post. Man this thing does rock! Effortless! Not bad for $330.

    Yeah, its fun to watch those meters dance. Also, the bass is amazing! Huge difference compared to the M2A.

    Cool! Those LED bulbs look great. What color? Now I'm lusting after an A-753X for the center and surround. :cheesygrin:
