Reliable, good sound, decent power

Ugly, gets quite warm, big.

At 100watts per channel, it is not incredibly powerful, but when used with the right equipment it has some excellent potential for the money. This amp was slightly underpowering Polk RTi 10 loudspeakers, offering average performance due to the demand of their four 7inch woofers, two 6.5inch drivers and two 1inch dome tweeters. I have since bi-amped two units, isolating high and low-range signals. In this configuration, there is much room for fine-tuning various signal properties, applying more bass to the woofers and more treble to the tweeters. And, of course, double the power is a factor. I am using an optical signal for highs and digital coax for the lows from the same source (DvdCd player). Both signals are processed simultaneously, despite their different formats. An excellent way to get more for less.

awsome volume and inputs. very, very easy to set up. like im talking like less then 20 mins to set up good. like speaker levels and everything

the only problem i had was the first one i got was faulty and i had to take it back and get a new one. all the circuitry inside was not there lol. new one makes up for that though.

this receiver is very good for the price. i got it from future shop when they ahd the deal on for this and two quest bookshelve speakers. i put them together with quest qt66 towers. a quest qc centre and a 10 inch quest sub. it sounds impressive for the price for everything..... it stacks up to my expensive other system. including yamaha components

Everything, read the SA-HE70k review

Well, it's still a little big

Take the Sa-He70k review I made, and paste copy it here. And had : better looking, and more energy efficient. I use this one with my KLH T-5AW speakers and it sounds great !!
