OK - some caveats
This amplifier is fine if you don't listen to teenager loud music. The power level is misleading specially when reported at max output power of 120Wx2 with unspecified Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). At 1% or lower THD - high-fidelity accepted value at which most other manufactures report power level - this Amp is rated at 20Wx2. I had this unit driving two Polk Audio Atrium 45 speakers and two in-ground OSD 6.5" speaker in parallel (4 Ohm effectively per Amp specs) in my backyard. Ajusting the volume to 3/4 for a short time (5 min or less) would cause the Amp to overheat and crackle as a result. understanding these limitations then the Amp is fine. The small size, USB 2.0 Stick media player and relatively low cost are great bennefits.

Would have received 5 stars, but...
The first one I received was dead on arrival. Amazon quickly sent out a replacement and it's fantastic!
The USB function is really neat. It's not really advanced--it just plays the songs you have on your USB stick in a row, with no way of navigating through albums or artists. If you don't mind that, you will be thrilled with this thing.
Power and sound quality are excellent. Most speakers will not be able to handle the bass on full boost, so be careful.
So far I've paired it with:
1. A pair of DCM KX12 loudspeakers. That rattled my bones.
2. A pair of Klipsch Quintet II satellites and a Klipsch SWV powered sub. I was very pleased with the detail.
Both setups have yielded excellent results. I just can't wait to try it with my Klipsch KG-3's!
Great Basic Amplifier
I purchased this amp for my outdoor speakers which are on my front porch. They are Definitive Technology bookshelf speakers with a 3" woofer and a 1" tweeter. This amp does a great job driving the Def Tecs. I play music through the 1/8 input jack on the front using my iPhone. The sound is great considering the cost of the amp and speakers. The LEDs on the front are a bit bright which could be annoying to some people. Overall its a great product, the sound is terrific, and it is ideal for a small system.
