Feature:
auto mute circuit prevents on/off pops. nice metering. nice size. short protection, and it doesn't get very warm.

Quality:
solid, cool running, low profile controls that don't snag loose clothing, solid chassis. Outstanding sound.

Value:
I wanted a high quality amplifier for room monitors. I didn't want, and I didn't want to pay for, extra features. Solid amp, does what it should, does it well. I'm sold.

Desirability:
Doesn't advertise itself.

Sound:
used in a tuned room with early '70's ceiling-hung loudspeakers. Lows are full, highs are clean and crisp. Maybe just a bit of harmonics approaching above 15khz, but without better equipment to test, I can't say for sure. With confidence I can say I haven't heard anything I didn't like, and this is installed in a finitely-tuned room. I'll happily purchase another...

Ease of Use:
It's a basic amp with no frills but terrific quality. plug in and go.
