Pro audio worthy
Koscko 24.12.2017
This amp is a proper monster it delivers insane punch for the money. It is used to drive my 2 Peavey SP2-Ti s into insane loudness levels without even clipping. I have pushed it tremendously hard (so hard that the speakers walked on their own) and it did not clip. I honestly do not know if i can clip it. Dynamic range is excellent Its a class H btw.

But it is not the best it could be. It has a slight inbalance in the channels left appears to have slightly higher gain but it doesn not matter. Soundwise it lacks bass coloring but it has tremendously good transient capability. At high volumes the high frequencies kinda get mixed up and loose clarity but i dont think this would be so noticable with lots of people. Build quality is excelent it feels solidly built and well finished.

Other than that limiter is an excpetional feature that i more than enjoy as it helps protect speakers if this amp is used by someone inexpirienced. All in all a great and powerfull piece of equipment that was well worth the money. Note:1/4 inch inputs can play with both balanced and unbalanced input audio wires.

Well built and road ready
Steve537 27.04.2017
The T amp E-800 is amazing value for the money, and can be used for many applications. I use mine for P.A purposes and it has all the power I need for medium venues. I also work as a music teacher in a large school and we use this power amp in a large dance studio. The E-800 is very simple to use and features a protection circuit on power up which is reassuring,also a limiter and a overheating protection function. To add to this there is plenty of ventilation on the front and 2 large fans at the rear. Look around the back and there are plenty of quality made connectors which is astounding of a unit at this price The asthetics of the unit are great and understated and the controls knobs are solid and rotate smoothly.Have I got any gripes about this unit? No
Pro's Buy It it sounds great and its reliable, 700w at 8ohms and 1000w at 4ohms and less than £135.00 what's not to like.Cons None.

Great Sound & Great value for money.
Larry F. 01.07.2013
Great product and built like a tank! This is my second E800 and I would buy another.

I am using both with an active cross over to drive two sets of 15” bins. There are no issues with power, at low levels the sound is clean with plenty of current to drive those lows, at full volume sound is still pretty clean and the amp stays cool with it’s two fans pulling air over its heat sinks. It is heavy, Fans are a little loud for home use, but in a venue setting this makes no difference. I have amps costing five times as much; I would put the E800 on par. Terrific value for money, Well done Thomann.

Sadly its a lie product it does NOT give much POWER in sound and in sound quality
Rafael Barge 24.02.2023
Well..... SAD you Thomann did LIE in specs on your product as is NOT even close to 200 REAL watt!!!

its like a poor 150 watt 4homs per channel and it clips moure loud than the sound i give to him!!

i have a WAY to OLD amplifier that says it delivers ONLY 200 watt 4ohm per channel and i it is like the DOUBLE in POWER than this t amp E800!!!

ALso the sound quality is usless and with clipping it is going to be "better"!

SO MY review its not a guess BUT its TRUE a waste of money!!!!..........


(edit) 20-3-2023

Now i see what happened this amp reach to me with defect so thats why my BAD review and i will leave like that as a reminder for you thoman to test more your product before send to costumers in this BAD conditions as i sent to you private message saying that it behaves not as my other amp and SOMETIMES "strangly enough" YOUR amp just cant handle my speakers SOMETIMES which is very STANGE and higher notes MUCH of the times give this withe noise tipe of thig!! and even sometimes at LOW volume level it cant gove much punch to the sound and just lose to my OLD amp SOMETIMES also theres much things wrong with this uint and im wating and demanding a REPAIR of this product and hope at least you dont delete my TRUTH review in this situation to not make things worst for you!!!

Hope you can be more serious to your clients and if you win money and "hlep" people in this life then hope you can do things righ my friends if you work work truth to yourself and to others!!!

as the saying goes: don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you.

All being said!!!

Bang for the buck
Tooomas 29.01.2020
Very good amp for the money.
I drive two 300W 8 Ohm 12" speakers, and have never had to turn volume over 2 o'clock position.

PROS:
Bang for the buck
Clear sound
Built like a tank
CONS:
Loud fan - usually not a problem, but I had thermostat installed on mine for spoken word events.
Lacks little bit of bass (in my opinion)- not disturbingly though.

Like a tank - but smaller.
Paul8308 24.02.2016
This thing is built like the proverbial track-propelled combat vehicle - this is one heavy amp! Mind you - it inspires confidence!

What can I say? I use this in a 4 piece rock band - it powers a pair of passive subs and 10" tops. I have yet to run out of power - we play mainly boozers - I think it may not be enough for larger halls - but for the average pub circuit - it'll do ya! I put vox, bass drum and guitar through the mixer and this amp just copes fine.

Fan noise - forget it - you aint gonna hear it - OK - when everything is silent you can hear a slight whirr - big deal.

Connections are good quality - everything is spot on - only gripe is the captive mains lead - otherwise - for the money? come on!

Brilliant.

And top, top service from Thomann as always - I wouldn't use anyone else.

Cheers.

Pleasantly surprised.
PussInBoots 11.04.2020
Honestly, i wasn't expecting much for this price, but I was in need of a small monitor amp, and when i got to use it for the first time, i was pleasantly surprised to say the least.
Right out of the box, I saw that it is made like a tank, the frame is all metal, and it is quite thick, in some places (like rack ears) it's up to about 3-4mm.
About the sound quality, well for the price, I was expecting way less. Of course it's not a class A amp, or anything similar but as a class H amp, that costs this little and has the capability of hundreds of watts, it sounds surprisingly well. The highs are a bit granny, and the lows are not as powerful as higher end amps, but the middle frequencies are crystal clear, there fore currently it's powering the mids in my current PA rig.
What surprised me also, is that the power ratings are true, and this amp is definitely capable of putting out around 800W at 4ohms bridged.
5 stars from me.

AWESOME!, good solid reliable power amp.
Steve48 16.05.2013
Its simple in design, not too fussy, I've found this a joy to use, I give it 5 stars because of the price, I mean £100 for that kind of power?, it's a real bargain this one, and has an alight sound to it too, not cheaply built in the least, its good quality gear. I've used this one myself as part of my full P.A. set up live, and its driven my bass bins beutifullly well, its size and weight is average, its built like a tank construction wise, and handles the upper volume capacity of 800 watts at 4 ohms no problem whatsoever, no distortion etc. Spot on, I'm most content.

t.amp E-800
Shirl 11.05.2019
Fantastic bit of kit.
Sounds great and very well made!

Only downside is that it doesn't take a kettle lead as the plug is built in. Normally this wouldn't be an issue but the plug attached is EU. They send an adaptor plug so this isn't really an issue, just me being picky.
