Looks OK. Has support for 2 pairs of speakers. Sound quality OK.
Power supply produces audible hum.
In the year 2004, anyone that believes any reasonable amplifier costing more than £100 can seriously have much influence on fidelity, needs to see a psychiatrist. I smile when I read reviews that rate amplifiers like wine. I'd rather they spent the R&D money shaving 0.005% off the THD off amplifiers getting a few percent off the speakers. The only reason I bought this one was that it seemed to be a reasonable amplifier and, in my youth, I used to build class A audio amplifiers. I wanted to find out if I could tell the difference - which I couldn't. However, I was disappointed with this amplifier, not because of the fidelity, but because the power supply causes the chassis to hum. Almost inaudibly, but hum it does. For this reason, the sound quality has to get only 5 stars.
