    As usual and as expected, this amp does a great job pushing power to all 4 of my outdoor speakers. I have it driving a pair of 151 series speakers and a pair of 251 series speakers. It does so with perfect and consistent performance. It has also proven to maintain a dependable connection to my house wi-fi so there is never a disruption or hiccup in service. Excellent device.

    The Sound Touch A5 was easy to hook up. I use it with 4 Bose speakers and the sound is wonderful. It was easy for my 3 kids and me to link up with blue tooth and use SiriusXM or I Heart radio for endless music. I have been a fan of Bose for 40 years and I still have my 901's purchaser in 1981!

    I wanted to add the patio speakers to my existing SoundTouch system and this worked perfectly. My only regret is that you can't turn off the "A" or "B" speaker sets. A small inconvenience and maybe in future update Bose will address this.

    Bought this so I could get rid of my receiver and CD player and cabinet that holds them. I have a pair of klipsh loudspeakers and this unit pushes them fine. I have a couple of other Boss soundtouch products and they all work great. No issues to speak of.

    Recently bought a few of these for several rooms that had in-ceiling speakers. This amp is great. I'm able to stream the same thing in a group in all the rooms or play unique content on each. Would definitely buy again.

    Easy installation and great sound. Wish the Bluetooth had a wider range. Nun it is in the basement and entertain on the deck and it cuts out. If you do not mind leaving the phone alone once a good music app is playing, it's great

    The sound it puts out is really great. From time to time, I have to turn it off and back on due to crackling in the speakers.. this reset makes them operate fine. The receiver set up easily to my amazon and satellite radio accounts, but I am disappointed that I cannot easily stream the music that I already own through my phone. There is a work around, but come on,,, it’s 2017... I assumed the receiver would work like my bose wireless and I could air play, however, this will not work. I do like that the amp is good for unlike the competition which I believe was only 100watts. Overall, I am happy with it and again, the sound is really nice.

    This one was a second one added to my house. I run one of these to speakers in my garage (151) and the other to speakers above my pool (251). Setup is effortless.

    The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because there is no remote. The only way to turn on the system is by an app.
