USA-1000x or AX-1000?

Recommended Posts

Currently I am using a USA-4300x and a USA-1000x.

In my bedroom sits a new, never used, AX-4360TU

I have a local with a AX-1000 he's wanting to part with

My question - which setup would be better? In both sound quality and volume - current or the two AX series?

I just put the 4360on an oscope, and the most I could get out of it, @4ohms before clipping, was ~100 watts. Normally that wouold be considered a good thing (as it's more than it's rated at unbridged), however, I couldn't get any more bridging it. I.E. I was getting ~20v/100w on a 1KHz sine wave on each channel seperately, as well as bridging them per the owners manual.

Is the 4360 unbridgable?

The TU amps is can be bridged, you must use the outer terminals.

The O's are where you hook the speaker wires

Thanks for the reply!

That's how I had the o-scope hooked up, and the power output was identical as if it was hooked up "unbridged". The amp also heated up very quickly (with just a scope, no speakers, on it). All my other amps work like expected when scoping them. It should also be important to note that this amp is BNIB, never hooked up to anything until the other night.
