Open and detailed uppermidrange, with superb spacearound instruments andhence some highly plausibleimaging, For the money, thisis well worth a look, even inthe face of the competition.

A little coloration in the tenorregister is a bit much withsome speakers, and bass isn'tthe best controlled.

While it isn't all things to all men, what this amp does well itdoes very well indeed

Some may not like the look of it but I did... ! Performs great and the loudness control takes some getting used to but it improves the sound at low level no problem. The remote is great too.

I hate knobs sticking out of the front; but at this price I wont moan!

easy to use no fussy kobs good sound , in fact its a very good for the price.

can't think of any at this price.

its the sound the sound quality and its performance

the front is not all that good looking

Good value for money with high HiFi output power.

Prefer black colour instead of silver/titanium colour.

The sound quality is quite excellent, with no distortion at high volume. The functions are user friendly with a lot of features for the HiFi enthusiast including an armchair remote control.

What nice clean sound. No extra surround amps or tuner inside to cause interference. I also purchased a pair of Polk Monitor 70 Series II speakers on sale from Newegg to run with this unit. I Bi-Wired the speakers. I also use an older Denon DVD 2200...

None for me

I own this and an Onkyo TX-8255 and the sound from this one completely outclasses the Onkyo. At $200 this was really a good deal

Doesn't have a tuner or a subwoofer out, not really cons for what I needed

Im now reguarly upgrading my equiptment and moving it between rooms

Just handels the music better
