There is some noise when no signal is present, but at least on my humble speakers this noise is inaudible with the volume below about 1/2 in normal room conditions.

So my conclusion is that this tiny amp could power much larger speakers without any problem at all, it could certainly power anything that could reasonably be called bookshelf speakers, and likely many types of floor standing speakers as well

I don't know if the Fosi actually qualifies as an audiophile-level piece of equipment, but paired with the right source and speakers, you can definitely get pretty darn close for a *fraction* of the price.

If you are looking for an inexpensive 2 speaker receiver, this is a good buy.

it sounds great and powers my Bose floor standing speakers well enough, but it just stays on

and I'm honestly worried about blowing my speakers as this amp gets loud and I hear no audible distortion

I am using a pair of 25-watt, 8-ohm shelf-top speakers from an old Sharp stereo I bought over 20 years ago

This little amp can drive my old, inefficient Wharfdale floor speakers with plenty of clean power to spare

OMG, by 1/4 of a turn, the speakers were very loud, too loud to have a conversation with someone without yelling.

Will fill the room with very fine sound when hooked up to a good source and pre-amplification and some decent speakers

The better your speakers, the better the results

Received it on time the casing is metal heavy duty everything about it screams quality very powerful careful that you don't blow your speakers the only thing I have to tell you is for somebody that's picky with sound all it is is an amplifier you definitely need an equalizer small equalizer but definitely needed
