Looking for fanless power amp

Sign in to disble this ad
Needing at least 250w/8 ohm. Any available? I'm not that concerned about weight size. Just fanless for a home studio (recording).

Stewart Audio World 1.2 is 200w at 8Ω Stereo or 700w at 8Ω in bridged mono, 1ru, convection cooled. It's the only fanless power amp I have hands on experience with, used one for bass for years without issues. You could probably find one used for under $300. Good luck.

Thanks I'll check that one out.

Any 1ru class d amps out there? I may just go with a Markbass F1. Not really the sound I'm looking for, but not that big of a deal.

The Alesis RA series of power amps are convection cooled, very accurate and not expensive. Not too small or lightweight though.

The Behringer is a fine amp, double blind test compared to much more expensive amps:

Matrix HiFi --> Blind testing high end full equipments
