The Lepai LP-V3 looked to be a very interesting mini amp going by the specs alone. The amp promises 700 Watts MAX music power and 25 watts RMS and shares the same casing as the Lepai LP-2020A+ (rated at 500W MAX or 20W RMS). So, how did they squeeze more power into this amp?
Well, I haven't said for sure the ratings are accurate. We know the 700 Watt rating is absurd, but the 25W RMS sure seems feasible for an amp using 12v and 5A of current. So, how did the amp perform? You'll have to watch the video, no beans spilled here...
The LP-V3 states "This Amp is use BOSE Power IC". Not the best English and I seriously doubt BOSE agreed to having their name/logo put on a $16 amp. Honestly, based on the specs and BOSE power IC, I had high expectations from this amp.
Watch the video and let me know what you think. Since I made the video, I already have comments....but I'll hold them until you have a chance to view the video.
Testing parameters for ALL mini amps:
1) 13V power source - Sealed lead acid 35Ah battery
2) 1kHz sine wave from SMD DD-1 Test Disk
3) 8, 4 and 2 Ohm Resistive loads, both channels driven
