I wanted a very good sounding, small system, that would sound great at low, or high volumes, but wouldn't thump my wife and son too much in our smallish space. I have a couple options for loud, shake the walls kind of listening. I am using this with a Mac and iTunes and a pair of MatinLogan Motion 4 speakers. No subwoofer, no bass boost turned on. Neither the amp nor the speakers need extra bass for my purpose. But, I love reggae and rock, and more, so bass is important to me. The bass is perfectly clear, and detailed, in perfect proportion to the crystal clear mids and highs. I was going to get a larger, more expensive amp, but went for this one for the size and price, and hope that it would sound excellent. It does sound fabulous. It seems to run a bit hot, to me, but it could just be me, my last amp was dropped a long ways by my cat, it works still, but runs hot, and I might just be paranoid now. But, it doesn't seem to affect the performance at all, and hopefully it won't affect the life span. The remote I would give 2 stars, but that is too insignificant to lower the overall stars. Hopefully the remote will last at least several years before dying. But, I am super pleased with this purchase.

The sound is excellent. I am using them with an NAD D 3020 and a Mac and iTunes. I have a couple systems that boom bass, and I wanted a small system that wouldn't thump my wife and son too much in our smallish space, but that had quality sound. I expected these speakers to do the job nicely, but as stated above, they exceeded my hopes. Especially since I got them on sale, for $350 a pair. I was going to buy them anyway, at $500, and they would have been worth that price, as well. These have excellent clear, clean bass, in perfect balance with the mids and highs, which are also crystal clear. Fabulously small footprint.
