Overall I'm very satisfied with the amp, and will replace others I have with more of this line.
Sound
As with the older "big-iron" Yamaha's I have owned/used, the sound quality is top notch. I'd rate it a step up from any of the entry level offerings from Crown, Behringer, Peavey, Mackie and the like. Clean, smooth power all night long. It seems to handle loads much better that the older amps I have, stays much cooler driving dual 15" subs, and responds smoother when driven into clipping.
Features
The features available heavily influnced my decision to buy this amp. Sweepable hi/lo pass filters(12db/oct), bridge-dual mono-stereo switch, On/off output mutes, low power consumption, 2U case and relative light weight. None of the other entry level amps offer all this.
Quality
Build quality looks strong both externally and internally. Well laid out and easy to use controls. A rigid case with pro quality connectors that should last many years.
Value
Value? This amp provided may target features, power, and weight at a cost only slightly above some of the competitions enrty level offerings with none of the features. Comparable to a QSC PLX, only cheaper.

I was looking for a good solid amp with options that the yamaha p3500s has.im using this amp in a home theater set up coupled to a diamond d6 12" car sub.outstanding amp for home theater and sounds fantastic on music as well.i was originally looking at behringer amps.glad i didnt,this thing runs cool and quiet even when pushed hard.i dont expect this amp to go bad for 50 years or so.ha maybe even longer than that.if you are looking for a excellent pa amplifier for home theater,i highly recommend you look at the p series of yamaha.would i buy again ? yes,most definitely.only way i see me buying another though,is if the one i have is destroyed by a fire or mother nature.oh,and my av reciever is a yamaha HTR-5830(its discontinued now).so if you are like me and wont settle for plate amps for subs,then what you will need is,a good av reciever with a sub out,then to get the signal correct to the pa amp,you will need the ROLLS MB15B.i call it a line converter,signal matching device.works very well no fuss.i was watching a movie with the wife the other day and with this amp,it sounded like the train on the movie was coming through the living room !!! cant go wrong with yamaha and zzsounds did an outstanding job getting me my amp 2 days before christmas.they are very fast shippers and top business peeps.
