    It's bigger than I realized -- the amp that is, not your son. :)

    In total seriousness -- nice, and very cool!

    Those Salks would pair nicely with that little Ampino I'm thinking. :wink:

    I’m thinking the same thing .....
    I’m gonna try it with the salks and my 1c’s before we put it in his room ....
    Curious how it does vs the A21 and S300 .....
    I bet it’ll hold its own ....

    Gotta get some new speaker cable first as the cabinets my gear is in would require major surgery to use the existing cables - too much work for an audition 😤

    Sensitivity on the salks is 88 , 1c’s 91 I think .....
    We’ll see how it does !

    Will update ....

    Yeah , I was surprised....
    It’s VERY solidly made - like a tank ...

    Prob gonna pair it In his room with a spare pair of Polk Atrium 8 SDI’s I have laying around - which sound pretty damn good for outdoor speakers - used to use them as surrounds ...

    Man , I KNEW I should have kept my Klipsch KG 4’s ..... it would have been perfect for them ...
    🤮

    Nice amp. Tough to beat it in that price range.
