Amp 2

About the Amp 2

The Proceed Amp 2, introduced in 1998 by Proceed (a Mark Levinson brand), is a stereo power amplifier designed with a multiple monaural architecture, featuring dedicated power supplies and separate toroidal transformers for each channel to reduce crosstalk and improve imaging. It delivers 150 watts per channel into 8Ω with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz and total harmonic distortion of 0.1%. The amplifier supports both balanced and single-ended inputs with automatic gain adjustment, ensuring compatibility and noise immunity. It uses eight 150 watt power transistors per channel, matched and tested for reliability and longevity. The amplifier is praised for its musical neutrality, bulletproof reliability, and low noise operation, making it suitable for demanding loudspeaker loads such as B&W 801 series. It weighs 21.4 kg and measures 17.25 x 4.45 x 16 inches. The unit is THX certified for home theater use and is often paired with the Proceed AVP2 processor and AMP3 amplifier for multi-channel setups. Minor user critiques include the amber LED status indicator's visibility and the preference for a toggle power switch over a push button.
