Very Impressed
I am very pleased with this unit. It's a nice product and appears to be quality built. I can't speak to the reliability of it yet however. It's loaded with features e.g. multiple input types (RCA, mini-Stereo jack, optical audio), it has pre-amp outputs for connection to other amplifiers. The amplifier supports both 4ohm and 8ohm speakers and L+R channels can be bridged for greater power.
The keypads are straightforward and easy to use (although un-intuitively the up/down buttons that control the source selection do not control the volume / bass / treble settings. The keypads even have a sophisticated IR interface on the back of them which allows you to connect to local IR receivers+transmitters locally in the room, as well as relaying IR signals back to the main unit for output to your source devices.
I also like that the only button on the amplifier is a mechanical on/off button - which is perfect because nobody wants to go down to this unit to turn it on or to fiddle with settings. Enjoy yours!
