Good Points

Strong, controlled bass. Sparkling treble. Sounds and feels more powerful than it is. Looks the business.


Bad Points

Could do with more power maybe? Does not have a loudness button.


General Comments

There is no doubt, that for the money, this is a superb piece of kit. It gives you a punchy 60 Watts per channel at 8 ohms. And for only £119.99 in Richersounds, there is not much to complain about.
Treble is crystal clear, bass packs a punch, but its tight and well controlled. The 60 watts really fells like more power than it is.
Features 9/10... You have the treble, bass controls, source direct button, volume, input selector, power button, balance... what more do you need. A loudness button would have been nice, but no complaints.
Sound quality 10/10... for the money, nothing comes close.
This amplifier is brilliant, and would give more power to speakers with lower ohms. I am running 8 ohm Kef's on this amplifier, but it sounds fantastic. 6 ohms I think would give you around 75/80 watts per channel.
All in all, a superb buy.
