I've had this from new for about 17 years and it's probably seen about 500 hours of use since then if that, about 50 films and a bit of time filling in between amps.
It has multiple uses, it was designed to be added to a 2 way Hifi to add 5.1 channel functionality for those who want an AV set up but without giving up their 2 channel system, and it works amazingly well like that.
But I've found that the settings can be changed to use it as a power amp (great with a passive) or an integrated with built in DAC (coax and optical but no USB, I used a convertor). And it sounds as good as some pretty good amps in those modes, clean/clear with tight bass, the traditional Yammy sound. It's rated as 3x70w into 3 channels (8 ohm) so I reckon about 2x90w in stereo mode.
Additionally it has a speaker impedance matching switch on the back like a valve amp - a nice feature that does work. I have the remote which controls the amp in both integrated and surround modes.
Slight scratch in the front fascia as shown and one on the top grille.
It's collection only as I don't have a suitable box for it, currently located in the Durham/NE England area. If someone can collect from N London I can arrange to have it there but unless they let me know today or tomorrow AM it might take a while.
Asking £50 which is a bargain for the sound quality and versatility.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220101/2ec4b7ee7b4bc211b3e2ff529af91c9f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220101/1748e42d77e3c5c235aa5f4381b4e2d4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220101/f94e13b2a40defda0044d34fb23b097d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220101/2011c4fa08e2734074b549076889ef01.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220101/4dd9e63425165d38fabfff98ba03a04e.jpg
