After years of using just an AVR I’ve decided to venture out to the Amp world. So I’ve done a lot of research and listened to a lot of talking heads here on KZfaq and elsewhere. My head was quite literally spinning. You, my friend, have given the most comprehensive yet simplest explanation of all. Congrats on a great review/video. I now know which way to fly. Thank you!

These Monolith Amplifiers are made by ATI /Amplifier Technologies Inc. I have 2 ATI AT2505 amps. They weigh in at 105lbs each. Rated at 250 watts into 8 ohms and 375 watts into 4 ohms all channels driven. These are 20 years old and still working great. About a year ago I replace all the 12,000uf 80volt power capacitors as there was one leaking and some of them were beginning to bulge. Cost me under $200 for the replacement Capacitors. Should be good for another 20 years. ATI makes amplifiers for several companies. I have tested these specs using Dummy Load Resistors and measuring using Multi Tester and O-scope and can confirm they easily exceed the the ratings.

I’ve been looking at amplifiers with the same power that cost twice as much as monolith amps! This review has totally changed my mind!! I’ll be ordering mine asap!! Thank you for your review!!! Always a pleasure to watch your videos!

I like the demonstration between that and the Denon. Thanks for that!

I just bought this thing and it's a monster amplifier. Heavy as fuck and puts out raw power.

Nice, now i understand how to hook up amp to receiver to get those channels to produce their own power seperatelly from the main reciever to get those rear channels sounder louder and more full. Id turn it up just abit more to hear the rear and or height channels. I need the pre outs first.

Monolith isn’t playing here, they are continuing to come out with new products. I see two channel and turntables next, wow. I’m glad that you pointed it out that the power was cleaner and clearer. There is no AV receiver that will ever compete with a stand alone amp for power especially across multiple channels. There are too many compromises made in a receiver, while an single amp only has one job to do amplify a signal and do it well.

Great video. You speak well and have a pleasant voice & delivery. You get into the basics of some concepts without overwhelming the easily overwhelmed (not a problem I suffer from). I have a high-end Yamaha integrated receiver + amplifier, and despite how well reviewed the Yamaha is, in reality it's integrated amplifier is really bad. It can't handle 4 ohm loads (oops, all my speakers are 4 ohms) and when pushed it shuts down due to thermal problems (probably the 4 ohm load issue. Yamaha only supports down to 6 ohms). I also have a mid-level Denon & a high-end (for them) Kenwood. I think the Yamaha sounds better than the Denon, but that Denon is a more well-rounded & better thought out receiver. The Yamaha, despite how good it sounds (when it's not shutting down due to overload), it's feature set, ergonomics, and user interface are an insult to humanity. The specifications of these Monolith amplifiers are astounding, and the price is unmatched by anyone. PLUS THEY'RE MADE IN AMERICA in Montebello People should be aware that because these amplifiers actually put out so much power, they also consume a lot of power. That's how I look at amplifier specifications: I don't care what the liars in marketing say the amp will do, tell me how much power the amp draws & I'll tell you (roughly) how much it'll really put out. If it's a 5-channel AB amp rated for 145 watts a channel, and the label by the AC jack says the amp is rated to draw 500 watts, the amp is NOT going to push 145 watts simultaneously into all channels. It defies the electronics. The amp will struggle putting out 145 watts into just two channels at once. Check the power draw these Monolith amps are rated for. It's A LOT.

Thank you for your awesome review. I am getting the 7 Channel Amp tomorrow. I am hooking it up to my Yamaha 3030, Tekton Encores, B&W Center and SVS Ultra Surrounds.

I have a question on the 5 or 7 channel amp. All my surround in-wall speakers are 4 ohm speakers. Speaker manufacturer’s recommended amplifier power is rated as 20-200 watts per channel. In the amp specs, I see “FTC Full bandwidth output power at 4 ohms” is 300 watts. Does that mean the amp sends 300 watts RMS to the speakers? Can I power my surround speakers with these amps?
