any conformation as to weather they are outsourcing from ATI this looks just like outlaw audio's now defunct 7 channel amplifier from ATI even the numbers seem the same and parts they didnt copy there work like they did with the energy take classic incident is this manufactured in asia or the USA did you look inside some of the specs remind me of ATI which would be great just wondering who's amplifier design is this

Monoprice is offering this for $1199 today plus shipping, using discount code CRAZY. Crazy indeed... After watching their sales since product release, I didn't think this would ever go on sale.

Hi David, as always thanks for your reviews.

I know that ATI makes amps for several different companies, my question is, does it ever make sense just to purchase them from ATI or is their markup too high on their own branded products?

Thanks!

what would this amp do if I used it for the external amp or a denon 4308ci receiver ?

Just about any external amp rated at 200wrms should make a big improvement to the sound quality. Note that most AVRs are not suited to drive low impedence high current speaker. The Monoprice amp seems like a safe bet as it is returnable if it does not sound any better. I am using a Parasound 2205a with my Denon AVR3313ci. The dynamic headroom is impressive.

Since the Monolith now comes with XLR Balanced inputs I could assume things have only improved for this amp, but only a trained professional with a calibrated ear can really give us the scoop.....so please give us the scoop!
