I was looking for a very clean sounding integrated amp with no tone controls, an uncluttered user interface with minimal pointless bling, the ability to plug in my iPod/iPhone, and stone quiet when not in use
While not quite a match for the slightly more expensive Marantz integrated amplifier it is reasonably well built, offers a remote and has a polite sound.
That old receiver was remarkable sounding... good resolution, smooth, large soundstage, and good overall response.
If you want more bass or treble; buy a clean integrated amp with tone controls, not a poorly designed integrated amp that colors and distorts the sound of every recording you play
I own several pairs and think that they offer unquestionably excellent sound for the money.
the Topaz Integrated Amp seems less up to the task than ancient Yahama CR-620 receiver, which the Topaz replaced.
The power of the Topaz Integrated Amp seems barely adequate to drive a pair of KEF Corelli bookshelf speakers in my 14' x 15' living room.
The remote is designed to work with the Topaz Integrated Amp and the Cambridge CD player.
