Good, simple, reliable ampOct 04, 2009
I use this amp to connect an HP Touchsmart PC in our kitchen to one set of in-wall speakers and one set of outdoor speakers. You can probably tell that I'm not an audiophile; I was looking for something simple that I can put out of site and not have to worry about. This amp meets those needs. The sound quality has been good, and I've had no problems with the amp in my month of using it.
One complaint: I was hoping that the auto-sensing feature would allow me to put the amp in a hidden place and not have to mess with it. Unfortunately, as noted by other reviewers, the auto-sensing feature is not very sensitive. If I turn down the volume on the PC to a pretty quiet level, the amp goes into standby and turns the speakers off. So I have to leave the volume turned up on the PC and turn the volume down on the amp itself. It's a fine solution (and keeps me from ever having to turn the amp off altogether) - but it's a minor annoyance.
Still, overall, I am happy with the product and have not seen any other product that met my needs nearly as well.

 still waiting on a new one.Sep 29, 2009
i purchased this amp as an add on for one of my customer's home audio systems. i plugged it in and everything worked fine for a few minutes. i turned it off to add cables to the tv, and while it was off, it caught on fire! the manufacturer says that was an amazing fluke. the store i bought it from has no more to replace it so they gave my money back. i found another one at a different store and purchased it. that was a month ago. now the website for the store is under construction, i have not recieved the amp, and they will not respond to phone calls or emails. i want my money back!
 Excellent processSep 13, 2009
The purchase of the amplifier was superlative from start to finish. The description fully covered the item, the Amazon web page easily facilitated the purchase, and shipment was just plain fast. I received the item sooner than expected, the item was securely packaged, and works like a charm. I am very pleased with every part of this transaction
Buying a second one for a second room.Aug 15, 2009
So, if you get a lemon, it looks like you're out another $85 to replace it. I certainly didn't get a lemon; I've considered calling the customer support line to just say thank you! Expecting the customer support is nonexistant, but for $85 for a working amp, I've gotten more than I paid for.
It sounds good, even with the volume turned up. Clear, no noticeable noise.
It was dirt cheap, even compared to the rest of the Chinese imports.
It shuts itself off when no signal is coming in, so it doesn't suck down electricity or overheat.
It has two inputs, that auto-switch; television is hooked to one, and Airport Express + turntable to the other, with a Y-cable.
There's not a million confusing buttons, confusing displays, or anything else. There's a volume knob, and I leave the rest alone.
If it matters, it's plugged into Polk TSI100's. They're supposed to be rear channel speakers, but they're more than sufficient for home audio for me. Decent bass, even. I've had the amp plugged into Sony B3000's; slightly better base, but much bigger next to a teevee.
Thinking of buying another one to replace an older, dying Onkyo receiver unit in the finished basement. Hrrm.
Not bad, works as expectedAug 15, 2009
Actually, my expectations were a little low, this performed better than I thought it would. I upgraded my whole theater with new speakers and amps, but I haven't gotten a reciever yet. Currently I am using the analog outs on my HTPC straight to the amps. I got some really good amps for my Center and L/R speakers, but I didn't want to spend much on the amp for the rears because I do plan to get a new receiver soon that will run the rears. So I just needed a cheap temporary amp for the rears. My rear speakers can handle up to 100 watts so they are a little underpowered with this amp, I actually have the amp volume set to 95% all the time and it still doesn't sound loud enough all the time. Still, the audio is clear and I haven't noticed any clipping from the amp. It actually sounds better than I expected. When I get a new reciever, I plan to use this little amp to power some outdoor patio speakers.
