Features

This amplifier has 6 inputs, including a phono input for a vinyl deck. Each input has its own red LED which shows when it is enabled. It can handle up to 4 speakers (2x2 channels) which can be toggled in all possible ways (both on, both off, one on etc).
It comes with a remote control which can perform most of the functions on the unit apart from: change bass/treble, turn speakers sets on/off, or change the balance. A great feature is when the remote is used to change the volume; the dial on the amp rotates!
There is a dial devoted to the recording from the inputs which I have never used so I cannot comment on how they perform.

Design

This amplifier looks great! It has a very symmetrical layout, which makes it easy to navigate – even in the dark. Each input is lit by a small red LED, which is not intrusive if it to be used under a television etc.

Lifespan

I have used this amp on a daily basis for about 6 years, and it has not once caused any problems.
