OSD Audio Nero XMAX11 Class A/B 11-Ch Home Theater Amplifier, 3X 310W + 8X 135W, 2X Toroidal Transformers, XLR/RCA Inputs

Super ampli, fonctionne très bien. Livraison rapide.

I tried the OSD Nero XMAX-11 for about a week in my home theater (11 channels, external processor, multiple subs), using RCA connections. My unit had a serious problem: the AMP 8/9 module repeatedly shut down during movie playback, especially during dynamic scenes — even at moderate levels (around –10 dB on a Denon X3800H). Once it shut down, the channel stayed dead until the amp was fully power-cycled, which strongly suggests a protection fault. I swapped speakers, inputs, and wiring, and the problem always stayed with the same amp module. All other channels worked normally. In practice, this made the amp unusable in a multi-channel system. A few other notes: -The front display backlight is always on. You can turn off the meter, but the backlight stays lit, which is distracting in a dark room. -Customer service responded, but replies took several days. -Amazon’s return was easy, though shipping a very heavy amp back wasn’t fun. On paper this amp looks like a good value, but reliability matters more than specs. I ultimately returned it and went with a Monolith 11X that has been completely stable. Bottom line: Based on my experience with repeated channel shutdowns, I wouldn’t trust this amp in a serious home theater.

I've only been running this amp for a couple of weeks, but it has been flawless at very high outputs. I've been running a Marantz Cinema 60 for a couple of years and have burnt the amplifier section up twice now, repaired under warranty. The Cinema 60 is rated at 100w per channel into 2 channels driven, or 70 watts x 7 channels driven. Turn it up to reference levels, 105-108 dB, and the amplifier would shut off from thermal protection. Not so with the HTA 7200. It will easily and cleanly drive my speakers 9 dB higher than the Marantz receiver can. Now I use the Cinema 60 as a pre-amp and let the Nero 7200 do all of the heavy lifting. Speaking of heavy lifting, the Nero 7200 is 64.2 lbs. It is twice as heavy as the Cinema 60 receiver + amplifier. It is truly a beast and the sound quality is no less than when I was using the Cinema 60 + integrated amplifier. Lots of clean power. No perceptible distortion or SNR background noise. No hot chassis or thermal shutdown after 1+ hours of music at high listening levels, just at the verge of perceptible distortion. If this unit can keep pumping out power like this for a few more years, it is truly worth the price tag.

VERY WELL BUILT ...I SAT ON IT PUTTING MY WIRES TOGETHER..SOUNDS GRWAT ALSO..

This amp really upped my listening experience. Using my Marantz SR5015 as a pre-amp\processor, , the sound-stage is much fuller and and I can now play at reference levels and have virtually no distortion, clipping or compression. Whole new experience. Good job OSD!
