This amplifer was my first introduction to the world of real hi-fi equipment and quite simply it was an absolute bargin. I have this connected to an NAD cd player and B&W 602 s2 speakers and it sounds fantastic. I find it produces very warm sounds with an excellent bass response.
This may be an entry level amp and only rated at 40 watts but it has plenty of power, many other cheaper amp's my show more power, when it comes to it they loose clarity at high volumes (tested my speakers on a similar price sony amp rated at 80 watts per channel)
This amp really does benefit from high quality interconnectors, speaker cables and make sure they're fitted with gold plated bannana plugs, it really does make a difference.
It looks quite plain and understated. When my hose was broken into this amp and cd player was left behind in favour of a £100 Awia system with lots of flashing lights.
I would high reccomend this amp as after 3 years it is still producing a very high quality sound and has survived being droped a few times during a house move.
