  • works as in passing sound one channel has distortion the other is fine....sux
  • That being said, the overall package works, and works well regardless
  • works as in passing sound one channel has distortion the other is fine....sux
  • It works well for this purpose: it gets louder than I need it to be without distortion and comes is a very compact package
  • To start, it is packaged VERY well in a very nice box with foam molded to fit the amp and power brick separately

Reviews around range (4.51 of 5)

  • The specs boast a remarkable 115 dB dynamic range which is a full 15 dB (30 times) higher than both the SMSL and Topping
  • One setback with the Topping TP22 is the limited dynamic range which is less than 100 dB. So similarly to the SMSL, there is a constant background hiss
  • I'd provide you with specifications on this amp (like the dynamic range) if I could find any, but after a long search they just don't seem to exist
  • This amp achieves a dynamic range of around 100 dB which should be enough if you don't have very sensitive speakers
  • One setback with the Topping TP22 is the limited dynamic range which is less than 100 dB. So similarly to the SMSL, there is a constant background hiss

Reviews around job (4.45 of 5)

  • I use it to power my Klipsch R-15M and it does a great job at it
  • It is well built and does an awesome job powering of Fluance SX6 bookshelf speakers
  • That means for a given amount of output power, the switching amp can be smaller and lose less power to heat than, say, a typical A/B biased amplifier
  • It did an amazing job, music sounded wonderful, and there was a low noise floor, considering my speakers have a high sensitivity
  • I bought it to power 2 Micca MB42X Bookshelf Speakers and it seems to be doing a good job

Reviews around channel (4.30 of 5)

  • After 2 years of light use (5 hours per week), the right channel is now cutting out constantly
  • This explained why much, much more sound was coming out of the left channel than the right channel
  • right channel failed already only bass comes out
  • works as in passing sound one channel has distortion the other is fine....sux
  • Seems that unless I have the volume cranked, the right channel consistently will drop out entirely

Reviews around product (3.99 of 5)

  • It's still an interesting digital amp, and has more power (about 30 watts per channel) than many small cheap T amps.
  • I'll take the word of more experienced users that there may be more accurate Class T/D amps out there in this price
  • I almost gave it 4/5 stars, but then I listened to my QSC 1100 that I purchased off eBay for well under $100, and I realized that there are better products for the price
  • Sounds very clean at normal volume levels....if you're trying to amplify to a large room you're looking at the wrong product.
  • The build quality is massively better than the original Sonic-T - a nice metal construction with much better connectors and the power supply (almost the same size as the amp itself!) is actually beefy enough not to hamper the amp's performance.

  • The built-in EQ is worthless so don't even bother using it
  • The amp itself feels well-built and powers in-ceiling speakers with headroom to spare
  • That means for a given amount of output power, the switching amp can be smaller and lose less power to heat than, say, a typical A/B biased amplifier
  • Sound quality is on-par, well-built and very affordable

Reviews around power (3.87 of 5)

  • It has more than enough power to handle my computer audio system
  • The power is enough for a small set of bookshelf speakers at moderate volume, nothing loud or speakers which need more power.
  • I am not sure if it has enough power if you were to try to use this tiny amp to run big speakers in a big room
  • Honestly it has enough power that I barely have to turn it up at all to achieve a solid amount of volume
  • With that said my only complaint is the power, but I have it hooked up in a large open living room (living room, dining room, and

Reviews around quality (3.79 of 5)

  • The binding posts are of questionable quality--would definitely recommend using banana connectors instead.
  • Poor quality control, if any! set every thing up to test is out
  • Sound quality seems very good with this, and it's nice to have the extra power relative to some of the cheap Tripath amps out there
  • Nice amp, clean sound and good build quality, will give it 5 stars if it had 3.5mm stereo input
  • Not as loud as I expected but the sound quality is amazing

Reviews around price (3.70 of 5)

  • I have matched it with a pair of Pioneer SP-22-BS-LR speakers and the system has a nice synergy going for it,sounding much better than its inexpensive price would indicate
  • Cheap overseas parts that have been given an overpriced Prime price tag
  • Later found that it's also available in Amazon Ca at a cheaper price
  • So if you're thinking about nice reasonably priced amp that has plenty of power and clean sound, this might be what you're looking for
  • I'll update this review over time if more details emerge that would affect my high praise of this unit, but so far it's exactly what I needed at a very attractive price-point.

Reviews around bass (3.70 of 5)

  • It doesn't give quite enough bass to the speakers like the previous stereo receiver did (I wish it had some equalizer knobs), but I'll live through it because of the power and heat savings (my closet was getting pretty hot with two full size receivers in there)
  • I was still getting the same amount of bass punch and dynamics of my old receiver
  • Now when playing any music with significant bass the sound output crackles loudly and skips.
  • In retrospect, I probably should've upgraded but if you like bass, this will suit you well.4) WORST OF ALL - produces a low hissing sound even without any input
  • That means for a given amount of output power, the switching amp can be smaller and lose less power to heat than, say, a typical A/B biased amplifier

Reviews around amplifier (3.24 of 5)

  • After all, these are super inexpensive amplifiers and it's unrealistic to expect that they are going tolast as long as a significantly more expensive amplifier will
  • I replaced a large, failing Sony amplifier with this tiny little thing, and this tiny little thing sounds far better than anything else for the small-ish bookshelf speakers I'm using it with (Athena Auditions, if you must know)
  • The amplifier has a hissing white noise when plugged in the speakers without any sound playing
  • I purchased this inexpensive little amplifier to power 2 satellite speakers for a desktop computer system
  • This little amplifier worked well for the first nine months.

Reviews around speaker (3.19 of 5)

  • Tiny yet powerful amp to hook with medium-to-large sized passive speakers
  • Just make sure you have a decent sound source and speakers
  • Perfect to drive some nice bookshelf speakers right from my PC.
  • I blame the speakers more than the amp for that.. feels well made & the sound is clear
  • This amp is more than adequate to drive a pair of modest bookshelf speakers

  • The amplifier has a hissing white noise when plugged in the speakers without any sound playing

  • When no content is playing, there is a static/white noise
  • The volume control is smooth and it produces very little hiss/noise.
