Characteristics were satisfactory for listening to audio in a space average. <br><br>In practice, the amp was more than satisfactory in use as Audio (with or without DSP) in Audio / Video (Dolby Surround) and until today. <br><br>Associated with B & W (and to MARTIN Speakers in rear channels) and used almost always in 4.0 with DSP Jazz Club + DSP logic for the films he made in use audio, instruments present and detailed sets (and the possibility of hear Mr Rabin as if it were in front of me) voices and precise effects in detonating use A / V <br><br>Offered with a comprehensive remote control to adjust all of the sofa and a string of input and output connections, comfort was total! <br><br>Far beyond today A / V, and after 20 years of loyal service, the beast begins to show signs of weakness, left channel to the sentence, it will be replaced.
