Speakers where easy to attach, and the sound quality was good. Excellent value for the cost: I use this Amp-100- 2 channel Bridgeable stereo power amp, with a pre amp. I also utilized the amp-100 to pike music from my computer, again with great sound quality.
So I saw that this unit had not only an ability to power additional speakers but also an ability to do so in such a way that I could use this unit as an input to the Kenwood receiver. As well I wanted to be able to use a single hook up to play my iPod on all sets of speakers. This works exactly as I expected and I love having this product. I have a 20 year old Kenwood receiver that only has inputs for two pairs of speakers. However, I wanted to hook up not only one pair of indoor speakers and one pair of outdoor speakers (patio) but also a new pair of outdoor speakers for a screened-in porch. I simply wired the new speakers to the new AudioSource AMP-100 and used a basic RCA cable to connect the output line of the AMP to the Phono input of the receiver and presto it all works like a charm.
It's compact, simple, powerful, and fits in with the rest of my equipment. This was a perfect addition to my slowly growing collection of modular audio system equipment. I highly recommend this for people who install and strike their equipment regularly.
It's simple, direct, and does the job. They're really sticky.
If not for this, I'd give it 5 stars instead of 4. Nice, but what if you want both sets of remote speakers on at the same time.
They seem to be set up so that when one set of remote speakers is turned on, the other automatically turns off (i.e., when you push the A button, the B button automatically pops back out turning the B speakers off, and vice versa). Probably a picky point, but it's annoying.
I needed something to allow me to use speakers both outdoors and in another room, and this little unit filled the bill perfectly. My only complaint is the speaker selection buttons on the front.
Well, both remote speakers can be on at the same time when both buttons are pushed in simultaneously, but then you have to jiggle them all over the place to get the buttons to pop back out and turn the speakers off again.
The input is coming from a 37" Samsung LCD TV and a Motorola HDTV Cable/DVR box. We're using the AMP-100 to feed two Bose bookshelf speakers and a Dayton Audio 8" sub-woofer. The AMP-100 has more than enough power to provide clean, floor-thumping audio for our family room, which measures about 22' x 12.' If you're looking for a no-frills amplifier that gets the job done without unnecessary bells and whistles, the AudioSource AMP-100 should perform nicely for you. The AudioSource AMP-100 Stereo Power Amplifier does its job as advertised. Set-up is easy and the unit keeps a low profile on the upper shelf of a bookcase in our family room. If you use the Line 2 amplifier connection, you should have no problems at all with audio cutting in and out.
