Reviews around price (4.03 of 5)

  • With small foot print and great price, this was a perfect purchase.
  • The annoying bright blue LED is a small price to pay for the sheer huge value you are getting with this amp
  • All-in-all: well worth the cheap price if all you need is a budget amp that sounds OK

Reviews around product (3.61 of 5)

  • All in all I recommend this product.
  • They'd probably find their return rates for 'defective' products would drop.
  • I know it is something to be expected from an inexpensive product like this though
  • I would not buy this product again, or recommend it.

Reviews around amplifier (3.50 of 5)

  • I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and call it a defect)- Shoddy construction: knobs are all at different angles to one another, lettering and markings on faceplate are half printed, solder is visible around the rear inputs, etc.- Overall weak amplifier sectionThe capacitor pop is the reason I am returning my unit
  • sound breaks up as you turn up the volume.
  • This one uses a cheaper amplifier chip, and it has distortion at higher volumes, and the sound quality is a bit stunted
  • I needed a compact amplifier to place on my desk to power a small 2.1 computer stereo system
  • If they could fix the power off pop, ( and maybe dim or not use the blue LEDs), I'd give it 5 stars (for what it is, an inexpensive, basic amplifier)

Reviews around speaker wire (3.44 of 5)

  • sound breaks up as you turn up the volume.
  • I connected an RCA cable to this, then plugged the subwoofer speaker wires in (see pictures), works like a charm
  • I just used Amazon's 16 guage speaker wire and it works great!

Reviews around bass (3.22 of 5)

  • sound breaks up as you turn up the volume.
  • I have the volume knob a hair past half and this thing cranks with excellent bass and full range sound, with no distortion.
  • Crystal clear output and decent bass maybe due to fact that it is a bi-polar speaker, but it perfect for my need.

Reviews around channel (3.22 of 5)

  • While the amp is on, the left channel makes a much louder buzzing noise than the right channel
  • Right channel had static out of box, volume potentiometer broke within minutes of use
  • The right channel only plays static
  • But my ancient Radio Shack STA-155 amp developed an intermittent drop-out on the right channel, so I decided to give this little guy a shot
  • sound breaks up as you turn up the volume.
  • Read remaining 6 reviews for channel

Reviews around power supply (2.54 of 5)

  • The best one in its class, just don't add the last start because the power supply, if you will power a pair of middle power speakers, then the power supply is enough, but if you want to have all the power and gain from this little amplifier, then buy a 24V and 4amps power supply, you will be surprised how the power will increase
  • All three worked fine with the exception of one of the units which had a horrible hissing, static-y sound when the TV it was connected to was first turned on.
  • First things first, the power supply that comes with thing is not only bad, it's actually dangerous
  • That was enough to convince me that the power supply should NOT be trusted

Reviews around pop (1.78 of 5)

  • Loud pop when turning off- Blue light is super bright
  • Works great except for powering off, you get a loud "pop".
  • Works great except for powering off, you get a loud "pop".
  • My only gripe was a loud pop through the speakers when turning the power off, whether by the switch or at the outlet
  • Works pretty well, loud pop when turning on and off, but the speaker connectors are really cheap.

Reviews around construction (1.00 of 5)

  • The third of my three units is still working fine, thus the rating of two stars rather than just one, but as a result of first the apparent poor grounding and especially to the poor construction, I can not recommend this unit.
  • The shoddy construction, poor quality control and weak amp is the reason I will not seek a replacement
  • I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and call it a defect)- Shoddy construction: knobs are all at different angles to one another, lettering and markings on faceplate are half printed, solder is visible around the rear inputs, etc.- Overall weak amplifier sectionThe capacitor pop is the reason I am returning my unit
