Running !
I am operating the amplifier with a pair of SPE-230/WS. I will hang them in the ceiling in my bathroom. Such an amplifier should only be evaluated in combination with loudspeakers, because the setting has to fit, otherwise the result can be bad.
I have assembled my combination (see above) on a test basis and it is fun. It's enough to make your ears ache :-) Basses are there too. Maybe not exactly suitable for listening to trance but quite sufficient for less bass-heavy genres.Pro
- Small and space-saving
- Reduced to the max
- Silent
Contra
- A control for medium frequencies would be nice.
Small and fine
Even audiophile esos will not hear any difference to a high-end amplifier.
Pro
- Sounds top
- No background noise
Has massive noise, especially when there is some partial sound.
If you turn up the volume to normal room volume, the power is no longer sufficient. It is constantly scratchy with music that has light bass. If I switch to my low-priced 450 CHF Denon stereo receiver, it sounds perfect. The problem is clearly this cheap Monacor receiver. It has now ended up in the electric crotch. For 250 more, you can get a proper hi-fi stereo amplifier from Denon or Marantz with breathtaking sound quality.
Pro
- Size - Quite compact
Contra
- Disturbing scratching and noise (not due to the source)
- No power, not even for normal room volume
- A loud pop in the speakers when you turn it off.
has interfering noises
has noise that I don't have from other amplifiers in the same setup (everything the same except the amplifier).
Chic part
I am very satisfied for the price!
Pro
- Compact
- Pretty
- Sound / price ratio very good
Contra
- No remote control
- Mains cable cannot be removed
Mini amplifier but does (almost) the maximum
Hard to be picky, does almost everything very well and the size of the amplifier is convenient for storage. The only problem, which made me put 4 stars instead of 5, is the lack of midrange adjustment for the sound, this may be a problem for people who do not have an equalizer at the output, but it remains very correct in terms of sound if you are not looking for absolute purity.
Pro
- Minimum space requirement
- Relatively extensive connectivity for the price (USB and 3.5" line in)
- Very quiet
- Powerful
- Very solid construction
Contra
- No midrange adjustment (treble, bass only)
- Requires CH adapter (supplied by Digitec on removal)
