I previously had a mini amplifier that threw up to 40W to my Bose 251's. Recently that amp stopped working. Seems like the on/off button broke and since my soldering skills are non-existent, decided to look for a new amp.After about 3-days of searching, I decided to get this amp...Build quality seems solid. They feel solid. The connection jacks on the back are also solidly in place as well. The finish on the black unit is nice and the bottom does have 4 rubber stands. The unit weighs a bit less than I actually thought it would but it is by no means a light weight.Hook up was a breeze. The additional power was noticeable right off the bat and I had been more than happy with my previous amp's power. The sound is crisp and very clear. The only thing I wish is that the amp had bass/treble control but I knew this ahead of time and I use my software to adjust as I see fit so no biggie. I have to say that I am hearing a bit more definition in my music now. So far I just place this amp's volume at the half way mark and leave it there since I am using this off of my computers sound card. Oh, and speaking of power and volume setting, I have played over 4 hours of games, music, and videos and the amp is barely warm to the touch. This leaves me to believe that I can push it along even more without any kind of issue. I consider myself as tech savvy but not an expert. I can certainly say that I recommend this amp to anyone looking to get into this kind of setup for the first time or who, like me, is not such an audiophile that can knit pick about their musics sound at 20Khz. Just do it if you are a beginner or a weekend-audio-warrior like me. For computer games, music (I am a 70's/80's rock and jazz aficionado) and video watching... you will think you have a $3000+ system on your hands. Just make sure you have a decent sound source and speakers. In fact, I'd get this amp (as my budget piece) and spend a bit more on good speakers and the sound source (receiver or computer card).
