It looked good out of the box. Appeared to be solid. I used it for 7 months and then one day, the LEDs were not working and the volume was very low. I checked all the wires and reattached everything. Nothing would fix the problem. So, there is one user-replaceable fuse accessed on the back. I thought I would check the fuse–just in case. It has a slot for a Philips Head screw driver–I inserted the screw driver and turned. It was so tightly closed that when I turned it, it actually ripped the fuse and connections from the inside board. Now, it’s dead.

Conclusion:
1. It only lasted 7 months.
2. I am not sure why the LEDs stopped working.
3. The volume was too low after it started to fail after the 7 months.
4. The one access point to replace something that could go wrong (the fuse) did not work. Trying to open it ripped it apart.
5. I now have to buy a replacement. I could have added the $70 or so from the purchase of this one to a better unit the first time.

Separately, there was a lot of hiss when no sound was playing. This means the hiss is always there–it is just masked at higher volumes.

Bought the first unit and two months later it would start cutting out. Turning the unit on and off several times worked for a while until it went dead altogether. Bought a second unit because the manufacturer warranty with pyle (not amazon warranty) requires you to pay for shipping there and $20 for a replacement unit and shipping back, which is BS bc I live about 5 miles away from where they ship!! This winds up being just about half or more than half the cost of the unit itself..so might as well buy a new one with amazon warranty. Less than a month later, same issue with it cutting out. My device was kept unobstructed and in a ventilated place, it’s never moved, so it most certainly is not something i am doing. Do not buy. Or if you must, buy the insurance!

This is the 3rd Pyle amp that I’ve purchased for powering external speakers for my televisions. This is a basic, reasonably priced amp that will do a very nice job of filling your TV room with high quality sound. If you are an audiophile looking for concert hall realism, then this amp isn’t going to do it for you. And remember, at this price range you are not going to get clear, auditorium filling sound. But if you want an inexpensive, basic amplifier to power a set of speakers then this will work just fine.

This amp seems to be designed for use as a PA system – a standard microphone input on the rear. I don’t use this function, but paired with a decent set of speakers would probably make a good announcing system for an event. A plus is that you can mix your music input with the microphone.

My only (minor) complaint is the extremely bright Output Level Display lamps. They are LEDs and flash away like strobe lights.This definitely doesn’t work in a darkened TV room, so you’ll need some way to cover them up.

Several other reviewers have complained about “poor quality”. I don’t know where this complaint comes from. My amp is a solid, fairly hefty piece of equipment. Everything that I can see shows the use of good, commercial quality components.

This amplifier delivers great power and has all the features that you’re expecting from the description. However, in the first unit that I bought, there was a noticeable, gain-independent hiss coming out of the speakers. This occurred even when the input was disconnected, and the speakers have been attached to other sources and not caused a hiss. Others have noted this hiss as well. Pyle was happy to exchange the amp, but the second one had the same hissing problem. The power and price are on point, but just hope you don’t get one with this hissing problem.

The Good: No desire for a massive receiver on my desk, this fit the needs I was looking for to connect a good pair of bookshelf speakers to my desktop.
The Bad: I get cross talk between AUX1/AUX2/CD. If I have more than one device connected I have to stop the audio on one before switching to the other, which sort of defeats the point. I don’t expect to necessitate the extra inputs, but it is worth noting for future home audio projects.
The Ugly: The LED’s are way too bright for sitting on my desk. 3 layers of scotch tape and it isn’t as blinding as it was, but I might still move it off to the side where it isn’t in direct line of sight.
Other thoughts: I’m running a pair of 60W speakers and the distortion seems to hit in the bass at roughly the same volume as the original receiver. This isn’t going to make your speakers sound better unless your current receiver isn’t outputting as high as your speakers can go.

It’s a nice amplifier for use with a home stereo system. I had a $60 Sony combination CD/cassette player that puts out 15 watts per channel. I bought a beautiful pair of second hand Yamaha 3 way speakers that normally retail new for $150 for $19. The new speakers were rated at 70 nominal watts per channel. Although when the new speakers were hooked up to the Sony player with a subwoofer they sounded alright there was some distortion and the speakers simply weren’t living up to what they were capable of. When I attached this amplifier between the Sony player and the Yamaha speakers the speakers sounded like high quality $150 speakers and the subwoofer suddenly came to life.

I only gave this four stars because of the construction of the bare wire speaker interface. It is about the flimsiest construction with tiny holes for the bare speaker wire, cheap springs and poor mounting. I’m using a high quality 14 gauge speaker wire and I had to force the bare speaker wire into the interface holes. If you plan on inserting your speaker wires just once and then leaving them alone it is fine. But if you plan on moving your amplifier and need to frequently connect and disconnect your speaker wire this speaker interface is going to break on you. It won’t hold up with repeated use.
