Customer Reviews
I have just love my AD 1 PA power amp. Excellent in build quality and sonics. Very smooth presentation yet dynamic lows in class AB mode. The star is the AD 1 Pre amp. Stellar performer for a SS preamp. Matched it with the high end YaQin 4 Tube CD player and just sonic nirvana. The phono section is amazing too. Highly recommend both products & ask Amir to pls start stocking the YaQin 4 tube CD players for his customers. Unmatched tube & SS sonic sweetness!
I’ve had several amplifiers over the years but this one is by far the best I purchased several items from Mr Aamir and definitely will buy from him again highly recommend go ahead give him a call you won’t regret it
Amazing amplifier! excellent build quality and sound is fantastic
I bought the amp based on reviews. The customer service from Summit was excellent! Ultimately, I will be using it to drive 300 hz up in an active tri-amped system. I received it and wanted to burn it in and listen to it full frequency. I pulled the Michi S5 and am running the AD-1 in Class A from 60 hz up over the sub. The amp is very clean, articulate and open sounding. I dont think you can find a better sounding and well-built amp anywhere for this kind of money. I would highly recommend this amp!
First things first: Aamir your customer service support is EPIC!!! My theater room is 30'W x 20'L. I'm running 4 KLF-30s (upgraded X-overs/carbon tweets from Crites) as sides/surrounds, Heritage Klipschorns L/R and 2 Heritage Klipsch LaScalas as my centers (slightly toe'd in for acoustical imaging) sound comes from dead-center of my 120" Epson laser screen. Oppo UDP-205, Yamaha c-5100 (I think) preamplifiers thru XLRs to two Emotiva 5-channel amps 200WPC all channels driven (continuous linear power). As you may have guessed, I'm 90% HT (1,500ish blurays/4K & 100+ 3Ds) and 10% stereo listening. Though I have collected GRP jazz CDs Fourplay, Bob James and the usual suspects...along with a few SACDs. I'm sharing my leading particulars just to provide context so's you don't think I'm still living in mee-maws basement waiting for my allowance and supper between video games.
I'm going to intentionally be silly, but mostly to relay and express my euphoric joy regarding this purchase that has brought soo much acoustical swag and sweetness into my humble setup. Rest assured, this purchase was based on a want. I'd been bi-amping my Heritage KlipschHorns with 200 watts (continuous @ 8 ohms) to each speaker's woofers and 200 watts to the mids/tweets thru Emotiva XPR power amps. I 'tot' I was happy...that is until Aamir reassured me I could squeeze more acoustical nectar from my corner-horns. (that's what I get for totting right?) I sez to him...'do tell', I sez I sez. That's when he schooled/hipped me to the AD-1PA+. When this monolithic metal block arrived, it was like trying to lift Thor's hammer. A worthy endeavor to say the least. Now, I won't bore you with different amps I've had in the past. Most of them have been eloquently talked about in other customer's posts. Now, I'm only going to address the 'hear-n-now' pun intended. I initially 'cooked it' for 10-15 days continuous, then I sat with baited-ears to hear what all of Aamir's brew-haha was all about...even though he downplayed it a bit.
Anyway, I'm back! I 'seed a squirrel true the window'. I'm driving the cornerhorns with the AD 1PA I've been sampling allot of my music. The first session lasted over 7 hours. Don't recall ever sitting that long and having soo much accoustical rediscovery of my tunes, some of my discs still have mullets and bell bottoms on!! Without realizing it, and to Aamir's comments I was unaware how much I was limiting my speakers (no shade on Emotiva) they are P4P one of the best deals on the market. That was until I saw the new 7 and 11 channel amps coming from Aamir's lab. But, I regress...the 1PA+ comparatively pulled the figurative blanket off of my (L/R) KlipschHorn speakers. The detail, crystal-clarity and spaciousness was IMMIDIATELY noticeable! Stage depth and subtle singing breaths, string riffs and drums...shoot all recordings were livelier and silkier. I could continue to ramble but my point's been made. Based on Aamir's golden endorsement stamp given his experience was a no-brainer. With my speaker collection, it was the obvious upgrade choice to tap as much acoustical nectar from my 100% horn-loaded home theater system. This is directly related to this AMAZING product which he whole-heartedly (tee-hee I sed whole) recommended. LOL!
In closing, When I thought it was safe to go outside my comfort zone surfing/gandering at electronic toys, Aamir and his team of engineers at Summit HIFI have just 'put out' (tee hee..i sed) Summit HIFI A7 and 11 toroidal power amps. The A7 rated at 200WPC all-channels driven is absolutely in my crosshairs. But wait, this final 'snigglett' of info about his amps floored me. They have a THREE YEAR WARRANTY!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! WHO DOES THAT!!! Unless they know they are all 'front-of-the-bus' confident with their lineup of bleeding-edge products. We all know how persnickety electronics can be and yet they still call on a THREE YEAR warranty. SummitHIFI WALKS THE TALK backing their products. So now, I've set my eyes on two Summit HIFI A-7s to complete my giddy-up. And based on his customer's reviews I can't wait (4 channels bi-amp my center channel) and (1PA for L/R) will complete my system perfectly 7.4.1. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my DefTech Trinity 2000 watt sub and I know my four Klipsch C7 horn loaded (Crites upgraded) and remaining speakers can't wait to flavor the sweet sweet toroidal power SUMMIT HIFI has to offer. I know my story is a bit choppy...I struggle to stay focus given squirrels and stuff happening around me but this had to be shared. Try not to judge me.
Now all I have to do is wait for Mee-Maw to give me my darn allowance. She's slippin' again...right? LOL! I'm buying all my future gear from Aamir, If you're on the fence, pull the trigger and get your sound-on on...what are you waiting for?...life is too short.
'We live...we love...we play with our HT toys...we die. I ain't never seen a U-Haul at a cemetery.'
