Default Mosconi D2 100.4 review

This will be a fairly short but well informed. I will start by saying this amp is phenomenal. The output is clear, vibrant and punchy. On a 4 ohm resistive load I pulled 140 rms per channel before the scope sawtooth began. The amp fit well under the fairing on the mount I had fabricated and used on my last few amps. I do not like not having screw terminals vs pre wired leads I have to solder to or add quick connect to. For the cost it should have screw terminals for the speaker connection. For a $999 msrp amp, I can say the performance and quality is there. Especially like it being made in Italy vs China, Taiwan, etc.
Current draw is low and is very efficient. Gains are extremely sensitive. All in all I can not recommend this amp for one reason. The cost. For what else is on the market with similar specs, the quality and build design just doesn't justify that price for what else can be had. If the cost was down closer in the $600 range then we are cooking with peanut oil.

Great review Bro! Thanks for bringing new products to the mix and giving an honest review. I'm ready to roll back down to Miami to see Henry and Haze. You ready to roll? LOL!! Just kidding. Can't roll this year too busy with work. But next spring I'm rolling!! Gonna try to get down to Houston and see T this fall. Might have to trailer down depending on the weather.

Gann brother I would love to make that trip to Miami some day soon. It has been discussed just have to get the timing and logistics setup. If you decide to and have room, I would pay whatever would be needed to come along if you would consider it. We also are thinking of a Midwest meetup sometime this spring or summer. Love to have ya join up bro.
