    Phillips PA 540B Amp
    Hi, i have a Phillips PA 540B Integrated amp hooked up to Athena AS-B1 speakers. I have seen the review for this amp and the review gave it a 5 out of 5. My questions are:

    Is this a good amp?
    If i want to get some headphones (grado 325i) do i need a headphone amp?
    Does anyone know the year for this amp?

    Thanks.:biggrin5:

    Not sure. You own it. What do YOU think? If you aren't sure, have a listen.

    Does the Phillips have a headphone output? If not, does your source have a headphone output? If both don't then yes, you may have to if you want to use cans.

    To be honest, it looks to me like nothing special and another thing is the brand Phillips doesn't sound right especially running Athena AS-B1 on it. I mean as long as it sounds right for you, you can use it but you can do a lot better! So far I don't know Phillips to have made a good amplifier!

    That is my opinion! Wait to see the others and make the decision!
