    Nice receiver/amp. I like the Bluetooth feature which allows me to listen to SiriusXM, Spotify or Amazon Music via my Apple devices. Paired with a sweet Audio Technica turntable and Klipsch speakers, this system rivals those I owned back in the 70s.

    Excellent Bang for the buck.. I have it running a pair of definitive tower speakers at my shop and it sounds as great. For around 200 dollars it rivals some units costing 3x as much. All of the features are easy to use, and the Bluetooth has good range.

    Very good value for the price. I love the Bluetooth capabilities. Sometimes there are issues connecting with my phone, but never my laptop, so I wouldn't blame the receiver. Simple and straightforward setup, definitely not the fanciest but gets the job done very well. I like that the display shows you whatever you're connected to, even differentiating between different Bluetooth devices. Probably a minor detail, but I think the remote is very nice as well: easy to use and responsive. Overall a great low-cost stereo option.
