Amp Swap for Current Setup

[JustinStone]

Recently swapped the shitty Pyle pla2200 for a M.A M1889i. What are your thoughts on this amplifier?
Currently have two Pyle PLW12RD's, and I am THOROUGHLY aware that I must upgrade from Pyle. They sound like ****.

Pretty sure MA isn't really an upgrade even from Pyle.

I think the MA will be a tiny upgrade over the Pyle. How much did you pay for it?

Naught.
I received it from a friend who had no use for it anymore. I've done a couple wiring projects for him for practice without pay, so while I find funds for my own things I get hand-me-downs from him. Seems to treat his stuff okay.

oops, if you mean how much it sells for: $99-110

Well, the Pyle was a 2 channel with 80watts max at 4ohm; the M.a is a monoblock with 400watt max at 4ohm.

That’s nice that it was free. Gotta love free stuff. Run it until you can afford to upgrade. No shame in that.
