Need Help identifying ARD Professional Power Amp

[jumbo-red]

I bought this power amp a few days ago in Italy.
ARD Professional Power Amplifier 1000A
I cannot find any manufacturing information.
ARD Professional Power Amplifier 1000A
See pictures. I am not an audio expert, bought it because it was heavy.
I found an ARD manufacturer in Turkey, but this company started in 2023.
I think the amplifier is older than that.
Any information helpful.

Thanks, john

The very brief search I did turned up the same thing, a company in Turkiye. And I agree that the amp is older than 2023.

It looks like a monster!

Have you tried it out yet?

Same heatsink/amplifier module layout as a CS-800 or BGW 750.

I flogged AI with a rubber hose and insults about it's paternity until it spit this out, i can find absoulutley nothing to support it, and i doubt the claim:

But AI said it...it MUST be true!!

I have no clue about this amp. But it does have a bit of a "pro" look to it.

Well, in this case at least, I think we've got it thanks to letting Google "look" at your images. It appears to be the "C" version of the BGW 750. Search on that and you'll find pleanty of corroboration.

The pictures of the BGW-750C are similar but there seem to be significant differences.

The biggest one to me is that the unit in question has two power switches where any picture I could find of a BGW-750C only has one.
