Athena ASP300 Review

By

Summary

The AS-P300 is a 300 watt peak, 100 watt RMS amplifier, with an 8" Injection Molded polypropylene woofer designed for smaller to medium sized rooms. Perfectly mated to the S.5 speaker from the Point 5 MK II, or the AS-B1 and AS-B2 bookshelf speakers, the AS-P300 has identical features to the AS-P400, front mounted controls, and front firing woofer and bass vent. The front mounted SCT control allows for easy adjustments regardless of which athena TECHNOLOGIES(TM) model you own. Blending the sub with the system has never been this easy.

Featuring low level and high level inputs the AS-P300 is compatible with any receiver, new or old.
Great sound, low distortion, and deep bass are the reasons for adding an AS-P300 to your Home Theater System.

Recommended for rooms up to 400 sq ft.
