Posted November 28, 200717 yr I finally found it.. I just got a mint Sony Mobile ES Amp. I forgot how nice they were. will do my front stage justice def not xplode crap. 50x4. 1 ohm stable stereo. xm-5046. I'm pretty happy..
November 28, 200717 yr i hear the sony es series is all quality stuff...never had a chance to mess around with any of it though
November 28, 200717 yr Author its beautiful. 60 amps of fusing in a SQ amp its about 14" x 8" good size amp. .004 THD thats the best, and 1 ohm stable stereo. YOu can check out the guts over at ROE's amp guts section model XM-5046. I also picked up a ALpine 7949 to go with it(full copper chassis, preamp, no power) like the 7909. Will make for a sweet front end. Edited November 28, 200717 yr by Breakjunki
December 2, 200717 yr One of these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...314282&rd=1I thought about getting it, but I have enough amps right now and hate the company. There was another 2ch I didn't save.
December 2, 200717 yr Author no don't believe thats a mobile es, looks like a newer cheapie sony. YOu can see it over at ROE's ampguts section..
December 2, 200717 yr Now if you could get ahold of an XES-P1 and XES-X1 you would really have something.
December 2, 200717 yr Author I have a alpine 7949 for a deck, it'd be sweet to use the xe digital crossover. but the preamp-x-over set would be sweet
December 3, 200717 yr I'll check it out. Someone told me the made in japan sony was good, I think the one I listed was. But obviously nobody wanted that one, and it is kind of small.That does look nice.
December 3, 200717 yr Author you kno what I'd really like to find a xes-m50 the dual mono board amp they had.. twin boards, almost no THD sweet design.. prob never see one again
December 3, 200717 yr Sony used to make pretty good stuff before, but I think their quality is slipping. We have two ancient Sony TVs, one must be over 20 years old, the other about 20 years old, and they're going strong. We had another Sony Wega XBRWTFBBQ TV, and that crapped out in three-four years. It was a known problematic series of TV, iirc. Not to mention hardly any of the stuff is Made In Japan anymore.
December 3, 200717 yr Author I deliver and install audio/video and appliances for allving. and yes the new sony vegas have gone down hill but the old stuff its still top of the line.. I just found a set of the old dual mono amps on e-bay. the 2100. sweet dual mono design.. does 700@2, w/ almost no thd But I agree with you that the quality has gone down hill especially with all the new high powered d class monos with thd through the roof, and subs with a effieciency rating of like 86@ 1w-1m I'd like to see a comeback of the medium powered subs, with a efficiency of 90-92, with lower power requirements.. would make me happy I'd really like a set of the old soundstream reference 10's to go with the mobile es amps WOuld be nice..

September 15, 200915 yr i had one used it on two orion cobalt 12's in 4th order very good amp wish i still had it was 16 didnt know what i had sony is junk now
September 18, 200915 yr Wow I just saw this and saw that I posted wayyyy back. Irnoically, I have that same amp mentioned and am running it to my front stage. Bridged front 2 channels and rear 2 channels for sound goodness.How ironic.
September 18, 200915 yr I have a Sony Mobile ES' XM-7547.... I think the RCA inputs broke or something simple like that. It has full power on and some static as I wiggle the RCA's. It was very nice when it worked right.
