Step back to 1987 and it your parents bought you a BMW or Audi as your first car, you could probably afford an amp like the a/d/s PQ20. At $770 USD, it was an expensive amplifier ($1641 adjusted for October 2017 dollars), aimed at those who wanted the best sound quality (and had deep pockets!). The PQ20 is a four channel amplifier rated to deliver 80x4 at 4 ohms or 200x2 at 4 ohms or 80x2 plus 200x2. The amp has no built-in crossovers to color the sound, it is just a pure gain block. Let's take a closer look at the amp and see how it performs on the SMD Amp Dyno.

Man i love the detail in these videos... what was happening at that time, the style of the era, which manufacturers were competing against each other, what technology was hot in the audio world, the old school magazine promotional ads, etc etc. Always something to learn when i click play. Thanks for the videos!

Thanks bro. Takes quite a bit longer than just doing a test on the Amp, but I try to include extra stuff from back in the day to make them a bit more interesting. Thanks for noticing :-)
