Alpine amplifiers (3 x 90s high end amps)

As part of selling off my Alpine audio collection, here are the three amps.

These are all high end amplifiers, especially the two 3566 amps which were the flagship models of Alpines amp line-up in the early 90s.

The 3566 is a 6/5/4/3 channel bridgeable amp and the sound quality from it is simply outstanding. I had just one of these powering a complete active system in my old MR2 and it was, without a doubt, one of the nicest audio set-ups I've ever heard.

Here are the specs, but just be aware, these figures might seem low compared to the ratings on modern amps, but trust me, these really to kick out sounds far beyond what the specs tell. Trust me....


* Maximum power output: 2x120W + 4x60W

* Continuous power output: 2x60W + 4x30W (4ohm, 20Hz - 20kHz) (0.04% THD)

* Bridgeable options: 5ch (1x120W + 4x30W), 4ch (4x60W), 3ch (1x120W + 2x60W)

* Mode power output into 4ohm 1kHz (10% THD): 1x280W + 2x180W

* Signal to noise ratio (IHF-A weighted): 105dB

* Frequency response: 10Hz - 50kHz (+0, -1dB)

* Crossover point: 80Hz, -18dB/Oct.

* Input sensitivity: 100mV - 2V variable

* Switchable subwoofer control function

* Accoustic compensation

* Independant Pre-Main DC-DC Power Supply

* Duo-B & S.T.A.R. Circuitry

* Drives 2ohm loads

* Status monitor

* RCA connectors

* Gold plated terminals

* Dimensions: 340mm x 263mm x 55mm

The third amplifier as an Alpine V12 MRV-F250 4/3/2 channel bridgeable amp.

The specs are as follows:

- RMS Continuous Power output (@ 12.0V 20 Hz to 20 kHz)

25 watts x 4 @ 4 ohms, 0.08% THD
35 watts x 4 @ 2 ohms, 0.3% THD
70 watts bridged into 4 ohms, 0.3% THD

- Dynamic Power (a 14.4V, 20 Hz to 20 kHz)

40 watts x 4 @ 4 ohms, 0.08% THD
50 watts x 4 @ 2 ohms, 0.3% THD
100 watts bridged into 4 ohms, 0.3% THD

Frequency Response - 10 Hz to 50 kHz (+0, -1 dB)
Signal to Noise Ratio - 100dB
Slew Factor - Greater than 5
Inout Sensitivity (for rated power output) - 200mV to 4.0V (1.0V at center detent)
Active Network Frequency and Slope - 50 to 200 Hz, 12 db per Octave

Dimensions: (W x H x D) 240mm X 53mm x250mm ( 9-7/16" x 2-1/16" x 9-14/16")
Weight: 3.0Kg (6lbs)

I have checked and tested all three amps and they are all in perfect working order. I have the box for one of the 3566 amps and also have some of the details on how to set them up with all the different options which I will forward to the new owner. They really are amazing, flexible amps.

I know I'm going to regret selling them, I doubt I'll ever find the same set-up again, especially at this price, but my loss is someone elses gain. Incredible amps, absolutely incredible.


3566 6 channel amps = £85 each ovno
V12 4 channel amp = £55 ovno

All three and they're yours for £200. Buy the pair of 3566s for £150. That's UBER CHEAP for tried and tested period high end Alpine amps like this.
