Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Great sound, full range, rich and powerful with Zero distortion. If you just wanna hook up a set of speakers or two this thing can't be touched for the money. The instructions and remote however have been very frustrating to figure out and change settings. The instructions tell you in 4 simple steps how to change the receiver for your 6 Ohm speakers, but it never works. Plus to make it worse everytime I tried to do this it just freezes up the receiver and then I'd have to do a total reboot and start over like it was out of the box again, all programming and radio stations lost. Very frustrating and I havent even tried hooking up a subwoofer yet, I dread finding more of the same mess. But it does sound Very Excellent and has no problem with out of box settings powering both my sets of speakers at the same time. So a mix of great sound but very poor and instructions. If anyone has any advice feel free to email me.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
