Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good amplifier and exceptionally good Bluetooth.

In life you get what you pay for, because I knew that when I bought this amp. There's always a chance you'll take. It's like buying a car without knowing how to drive it. Line out was a requirement when I bought this amp, I wrote earlier that it doesn't work. I was completely wrong, but the unit's volume control also adjusts the line out level, and the basic treble and balance controls also work in conjunction with the line out. So keep in mind that this is not a permanent lead. If you have speakers connected, there is no point in using them. But great for driving amplified speakers which I also tried on this unit and they work very well although the remote cannot adjust the line out volume. The FM radio has mediocre controls but picks up a decent weak signal as long as you place an antenna on it. Bluetooth is exceptional, it grabbed my phone in faster than I could turn a blind eye and the range is phenomenal based on what I've had in the past. This amp is much better if you use bluetooth. The display is crisp and clear and looks quite sporty with a silver finish to match the black titanium buttons. When paired with a set of extraordinary Advent speakers, it didn't sound so bad. However, don't expect this amp to sound like a Yamaha or one of the more expensive Pioneer, Sony or Onkio. They have a Torrid Transformer for you EM techs which I think is much better as it doesn't hum or hum. I don't use karaoke so I'll probably never plug in a mic so I don't really know if they even work. I bought it for two purposes. It was bluetooth and audio line out. I actually like the amp for the price, although I've had amps that cost over $4000 and I can still give this one three stars. I'm sure it will satisfy many people who don't like more exotic amps. Not a bad amp, for such a price you could do a lot worse. In fact, I was very surprised by its performance, sound and build quality at this price point. It is what it is, but I think this is probably one of the best value bookshelf amp models next to someone's good music system, and with the introduction of Bluetooth, which is very good, it's a great addition. I haven't given much thought to the quality of the case and the third reader is weak so don't stray too far and expect it to work, but I've had it on a range of speakers and I'm amazed at how well it does sounds. Ditch your Yamaha Sonys and Pioneers and hook them up to a TV because they have an optical input and that's where the TV industry has gone. My rating jumped from 3 to 4 stars but couldn't go down to 5 as the secluded falls are a bit shorter but having had them for 3 days now and putting them through the rigors I definitely recommend them.

Pros
  • Hands-Free Operation
Cons
