Review 2 of 8

Price Paid:  $150.00 from A&B sound

Summary:
You just CANNOT go wrong with this amp. I bought it at a boxing day sale for 150$ Canadian and I dont regret doing it. The small investment has payed for itself over the years. You might think you need a monolith of a reciever to watch star wars. Well, it sounds absolutely crazy with this amp. The speakers I use are all Sherwood(for that system) as well. and for the little 3 inch woofers, they put out phenominal bass. Its amazing how the small speakers and economy reciever can fill a room with such lively music.

Strengths:
Cheap cheap cheap! Value! Music sounds great in Phantom mode(PH)

Weaknesses:
a wee bit underpowered Setting radio stations can be a hassle

Similar Products Used:
None really similar, my other amps are: Sansui A-1110 Hitachi SR-6010 QSC USA 900

Summary:
Surround Sound!!! I usr this for Computer audio

all of my unusal components!!!


My main dislike of this product is the Fm Tuner.
