Highly recommended! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
This is my second Acom amp. Before I used the Acom 1000 for years without any trouble. And in case a problem may occur Acom is known for its very good service. As I am a band hopper, I wanted an amp without the hassle of manual band switching and amp tuning. Then solid state is the obvious way to go. Based on my high quality experience with Acom I choose the 700S. This is a solid state of the art amp. Modern clean looks and compact build, to me also important factors. The amp is quiet and the big fan only kicks in after transmitting longer on ssb or after a few FT8 transmissions. The amp is very very easy to use. The CAT interface to my icom transceiver takes care of the band switching. To operate the amp, the only thing you need to do is switch power on and push the operate button. Set and forget, the 700s delivers from 160m all the way up to 6m. I would definitely buy again, highly recommended!

Another winner ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is my 4th Acom amp ! 600s, 1010, 1000, and now the 700s . These amp's look like home stereo equipment, Lets get to the review. The 700s is very easy to use honestly its plug and play, the best thing I never hear the amp fan. Solid state is the way to go , The price of tubes for a good amp is crazy $700/$800 dollars if you can find them. Don't be afraid of solid state ,or at least this one , As far as performance its a 700 watt amp coasting and by the way I use my 700s on 110 volts. Let me add my first Acom amp the 600s had problems Not the fault of Acom but the fault of a supplier (trusting other company's components) which Val. acknowledged and repaired for no charge.So the Acom company makes great amp's and stands behind them .

Working great !! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The build quality is excellent. Setup couldn't be easier. It puts out the rated 700 watts on all bands. Protection circuits work good. This is my first solid state amp. My other amps are tube type and are very reliable. I bought a solid state amp because good NOS American tubes are hard to find and getting very expensive. I hope in the long term this one is as trouble free as my others.
