Posted .Hi Cyns, Awesome! We're very pleased to hear that the unit works perfectly with your Bluetooth device. Whether you choose to enjoy the warm sound of vinyl via the phono input, or stream music from your digital music collection, you’ve found a perfect match. Don’t forget the receiver’s A=B function lets you connect two pairs of speakers. You can easily switch between A or B or use them all together at the same time. When you factor in the low-profile design, we’re sure you’ve found the flexibility and performance you’ve been looking for! -Sam

Great Bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason I bought this was to drive a couple of outdoor speakers I already had in place. Didn't want to waste $600 on a Sonos Amp for my 2 outdoor speakers. This thing is a no brainer for this simple application. I plugged it in, plugged in the speakers, pulled up Bluetooth on my phone with the unit off and bam! It connects and starts streaming. My wife could even do it with no issues. Love this amp!

Perfect for your turntable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice receiver and perfect for your turntable. Only 2 channels but I made the most out of them 2-Polk Monitor 60 Towers through one channel and second channel feeds a Polk PSW10 subwoofer. The subwoofer line outs are feeding a pair of Polk T15 bookshelf speakers. The system rocks the house! The Bluetooth connection made it easy to connect to my Samsung Q80. Great setup!

Have Flashlight, Will Listen
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is above average except that I have to crank the volume control above 20 to hear the sound clearly and fully in medium to large size rooms. Specific complaints about the operation: First, it's all but impossible to use the controls on the receiver in low light. Nothing is backlit (not even the on button). The dial that selects inputs and sources is a pain. "Sleek design" here means inconvenience in finding and selecting inputs (CD, phono, etc.). I prefer a panel that allows me to select an input source with clearly identifiable buttons. Even worse is the remote, which also has no lighting, so it's impossible to use in low light or semi-darkness. Have a flashlight handy. More frustrating is the remote's user-unfriendly, overly complex way of accessing features. Nothing is straightforward. Most actions require multiple steps (on control buttons that are not always clearly labeled). I hate having to scroll through menus and guess which button to press to increase or decrease balance, for instance. Many functions I cannot access UNLESS I USE THE (DARK) REOMOTE (e.g., adjust the balance). Conventional knobs on the receiver is a much more user-friendly method and one that would not require searching for buttons on a dark remote. While the "pure direct" feature allows adequate sound, because of room acoustics I have to adjust bass, treble, balance--from the dark remote. Inferior to my 25-yr-old deceased Denon. I'm torn between 2 and 3 stars, but I'll give it 3. It turns on, and there's good sound after I spend more than an hour reading the manual and making adjustments where I can.

Simple amp
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very pleased with this amp. It’s driving 4 large 8 ohm speakers, 2 turntables, CD player, TV, Squeezebox Duet, and even a cassette player for archived cassettes (just in case). Can stream music from my phone via the built in Bluetooth receiver or can plug in on the convenient front port. I also connected a Bluetooth transmitter to the audio out ports allowing me to use my B&O noise canceling headphones. The remote makes it easy to use all the face-accessible features from a distance as well.
