Bluetooth Stereo Amp 6 Speakers

I am a physicist. (energy physics not matter physics). I am also a sound engineer, coincidentally, the control of sound energy. This amp is VERY GOOD for bench testing audio control devices and speakers. The addition of an unbalanced input makes it very handy for typical bench tests. Because I am retired I also use commercial speakers for my home stereo system. Use of commercial speakers is much cheaper than consumer speaker products that, by and large, do Not provide full range audio despite deceitful specs claiming otherwise. The commercial speaker is also built to last and far more reliable than consumer designs. (will last decades under home stereo use... my last amp lasted 31 years... speakers are still going strong) I use this amp as my home stereo amp driving 1,200 watt rated commercial speakers that actually reproduce 20Hz. (actual amp power use rarely exceeds 75 watts peak and 25 watts average) In that unique use... the amp fan noise is detectable so I place it behind a glass paneled cabinet. Aside from fan noise, the amp performs very well and for the price is one of the best bargains there is. Keep in mind... the typical consumer stereo amp is Designed To Fail and the primary reason is.... no active fan cooling. (a flawed design that minimizes ambient noise) The amp provides plenty of dynamic headroom (nearly 6dB under typical home stereo use) and presents no excessive noise floor problems. I use a receiver with balanced XLR outputs, a balanced 31 band EQ to drive the amp and control volume. My speaker connections are Speakon. Bottom line... A very good simple amp for multiple purposes at a very good price. If you are an engineer who loves music and movies you will quickly recognize the wisdom of putting up with a bit of fan noise to achieve excellent performance and very long term reliability.

The Pyle PTA2 Mini 2X40W Stereo Power Amp is the perfect amp for the stereo minimalist. This amp, a good turntable and nice speakers will provide the perfect retro vinyl album experience. Try it and enjoy, it's 1969 again!

First point - the amp B&H shows is the older model of the PTA2 and what you actually receive is the newer version of the PTA2 with a remote. Picture attached. This is probably as inexpensive as you want to go and maintain some quality. Where this shines is if you want to use better stereo speakers with your TV. The other best use of this is for an office stereo/tv unit. I used this amp, a Roku box, a 13 Exuby TV ($150) and 2 Sony SS-B1000 speakers ($49) and it's a compact, inexpensive unit with great sound. I've read that the older PTA2 unit is a better built amp and the one I had (the older PTA2 model) was great for 11 years but then lost the right channel. So I ordered this one thinking I was getting that older PTA2 model but the newer model PTA2 showed up. So we'll see how it works. BTW, the price was real good (better than Amazon). I haven't dealt with B&H alot but I've never had a problem with them or their merchandise.

I like the warm sound this amp delivers through 1970s era stereo speakers via a headphone jack hook-up to a mac-mini. Also a subwoofer I can control with the bass knob. I got the usual top-grade professional advice in a question chain via email. I would shop here again and again.

I have a Sonos home theater system (Beam, Mini Sub, Sonos 1s') in my living room, and I had an unrelated stereo music setup in another room. I recently bought a turntable which I hooked up to my passive speakers and my older stereo receiver. So I bought the Sonos amp to replace the receiver. Beyond the expected Sonos connection I found an unexpected dramatic improvement in sound quality from my turntable/speakers. Now my stereo sounds great with my vinyl collection and can be played n my living room and anther room where I have additional Sonos speakers. Fantastic! The amp has also given me other benefits -- a TV connected to it via HDMI, IOS control, etc. Well worth the cost....

I use the Amp to drive a stereo pair of in-wall speakers. I paired it with Sonos Sub for a 2.1 setup. So far, the system works great. I love that I can use AirPlay to easily stream music to the system. My only gripe is that you cannot connect Amp to Ethernet while Sub is connected wirelessly. This needs to be explicitly stated in the app.

The amp is fantastic. It allows me to connect to outdoor speakers & stream music from various sources via Bluetooth. It is also compact and unobtrusive in the room. Love it!

I searched to find a replacement amp that would link our tv and our amazing older speakers and go Bluetooth and bring us up to date am so pleased I set this up and it's just brilliant love it best amp

Decided to get back into basic 2 channel stereo as my wave radio just couldn’t get it done. Took the plunge, picked up this receiver and two of the Sony 3 way bookshelf speakers. Wow the power and clarity from the Bluetooth streaming is amazing. Needless to say a CD player and a phono ( which each exceeded the price of the speakers and this receiver) were quickly added on. If your looking to get back into vinyl or just enjoy CDs or streaming to the Bluetooth you can’t go wrong with this receiver.

Also more than expected. I bought this to drive outdoor speakers and figured I'd spend a few more dollars to get Bluetooth. Well B&H must be showing a slightly older model because what I received also has an SD card slot in addition to the USB port and it will play mp3 files! It also has an FM tuner built in. I expected to feed this amp from my main stereo just to drive the outdoor speakers but since the Pyle also has line level output jacks I can also feed my stereo from the Pyle. I was a little afraid of a feedback loop while fiddling with switches but it has not happened. So now I can play mp3's or a Bluetooth source through the whole house inside & out. Perfect! The Pyle also seems to have tons of power. I easily drive a pair of Polk outdoor speakers with the Pyle volume just above zero. If there is any high volume distortion I'll never hear it unless I blow out the speakers. I could very easily drive a second pair of speakers with the Pyle. Great device, very compact, not much heat, good controls. Nothing to dislike. Hope it has a long life.
