Samson SX1800 Stereo Power Amplifier Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"How could you go wrong with this bad boy?"
Feature:
The outputs ahould be better,,,only has 1/4" outputs for the channel outs but does have a speakon for the bridged output. Samson should make the effort to provide BOTH speakon and 1/4" outputs for this amp since there are so many speakers out there that provide BOTH speakon and 1/4" inputs now.
Quality:
This thing is heavy and built like an older Chevy,,,real strong. Samson has come a long way in the last 10 years with their power amps. I currently own an SX-1800,,and 2 - S1000's,,,,,none of them have missed a beat in the last 3 years.
Value:
You will NOT find a better power amp out there for the money and the quality that Samson has to offer. You can always spend more money, but why waste the extra cash on a name???
Desirability:
Look people,,,why does your amp have to look sexy? The blue back lite is cool, but an amp is an amp. What did you buy the amp for,,,,it's good looks? I didn't buy 3 Samson amps to take them out on dates,,they do exactly what they're supposed to,,,,power the speakers,,and quite well too. If I had to say something about their looks, then they look fine.
Sound:
This amp does what it says, provides PLENTY of power to your speakers. Someone gave it a review and talked about not having VU meters,,,,what for? You have clipping indicators and if you know the output capability of the amp, you make sure that the speakers can handle that output,,pretty simple. Drives subs real nice, real easy.
Ease of Use:
How much easier do you want it?? 2 inputs,,,2 outputs,,,,do the math.
Support:
Support is not needed. Never had to call,,,most of the needed info is in the manual.
Overall:
These amps have exceeded my needs for power applications. So much head room it's not funny. Use 'em for subs, use 'em for mains, use 'em for monitors. I'm sure that there are plenty of uses for a quality Samson product. Just make sure that when you buy a power amp, that the speakers can take what the amp dishes out. Samson amps are better than I could hope for,,,,not only can they dish it out, but they can take it too. You won't be disappointed.

"I use this as a stereo bass amp, and where before I had a slightly muddy distorted sound, now it's crystal clear!"
Feature:
Not much for features, but I do like the blue backlighting on the face.
Quality:
Came with a few blemishes, but it was "B" stock, so........
Value:
Don't think I could've gotten a better amp at this price range!
Desirability:
If it breaks, will buy another one!
Sound:
Couldn't ask for anything more!
Ease of Use:
I tend to like things simple, since all the not-so-simple stuff is on my preamp.
Support:
Haven't had to use it. Friends tell me it's good though.
Overall:
Overall, an outstanding piece of equipment. Should have bought one sooner!
