Did a bit of scouting around and there seems to be a 50w = MLS 506SA...wonder if it has the same internals as the MLS 406sa but with more ooomph?

Some of these chip amps don't use the full potential of the chip as they reduce costs on an underpowered PSU, so it's quite possible.Originally Posted by donmarrese

I got some on the way to try. Funny I ordered one I thought to start with. It arrives, it's just a switch... Why use the same model numbers but some have amps, others don't? Ugh.

The SA suffix to the model mumber (304 SA, 406SA)
indicates stereo amp ? These will have a set of screw speaker terminals.
Versions with a pot, but without the SA label can be used as a preamp.
They start to look a bit better if you get a stack going !🤔

I've got one too. It's currently playing through my 15 ohm Leak Sandwich speakers with no problem -plenty of useable headroom.
They do sound good, despite their utilitarian look.
If anyone wants it, get in touch-£ 55 inc post. I have too much equipment!

Extron is widely used in the world of Pro A/V, at my last company i used loads of Extron kit, it's built to last and is the most sought after and respected brand, anywhere you need to do A/V switching, control or signal extension you'll find an Extron product, you guys make me laugh when you say it's really cheap, in the world of Pro A/V Extron is about the most expensive you can get, but all their products are well made out of high quality parts.

How so, have you seen any of their retail prices?

No just comparing the ones people have been buying for £30 with what you pay for home audio equivalents.

Those units on eBay are off-lease, you can't compare their selling price to new hi-fi.
