Does anyone have an opinion about a/d/s amplifiers?

I have an opportunity to get a model 340X (30wx4, I think) a/d/s Power Plate for a pretty good price. Should I consider it?

They're not to horribly worth a lot, but they are nice little amps. not too clear at high levels, they've got a lot of distortion.....

Well, I got the amp and it's a really nice looking unit. Beautiful, as a matter of fact. All of the connections are recessed and they're on one side. That'll make for a nice, clean install. I don't know what to expect from the actual performance, but for what I paid, I'm sure it will be perfect. Thanks for your input.

A/D/S has always made quality stuff. Before or after the buyout. I'm sure you'll like the amp.
