Hello, For the price a great value. My Onkyo 504 sound exactly the same only at 3x the power. The hummmmmmmm when the main is off should not be taken lightly. Turn the units off manually or use an external switcher. The hummmmm when the unit is something shared by all Onkyo amps in my experience. The Rca inputs are well served with high power inputs if you can bear to cut rca cords.I tryed to give 4 stars but I’m unable due to the web site but there is 2 of the 4.

I mean sound is good but there is no volume control on the front, and when it closes itself down to save power, it is forever unless you turn it off and on again.
I’d say it’s OK if you are looking for a simple amplifier for home use.

I use this amp to power two pairs of outdoor speaker via a impedence matching speaker selector (Monster Cable SS-4). Normally, I only use it to drive one pair of speakers at a time but at times I have driven both pairs for extended periods of times. Overall, I am very happy with the amplifier. It does the intended job without a hiccup. FYI: by extended periods of time I mean 8-12 hours.
Here are a few observations:
Hum: I read a lot of reviewers complaing of a hum. I do not hear it. This could because the amplifiers drives outdoor speakers (where there is more ambient noise) or due to “dirty” power or poor cables. I do use a votage regulator and line conditioner and all my cables are by cobalt cable. I also have a Onkyo home theatre reciever and I observe no hum through that either.
Binding post do not Accept spades: This is true of most Reciever/amplifiers. I prefer spades to pin, bar wire or banana connectors.
Runs Hot: This is a characteristic of all Onkyo amplifiers. Read both proffesional and amatuar reviews on both Onkyo and Integra. I have an Onkyo and Marantz Home theatre reciever. Between the two the Onkyo runs hotter. This amplifier is no different. Just make sure you give enough air flow. I do have the amp in a cabinet with 8″ of clearence and that seems to be good enough.

For this price it can’t be beat. I have installed two of them as additions into friends home setups over the last couple of years and both are working great. One is paired with a Yamaha receiver and operates off the 12 volt trigger. I haven’t had the same issue with it taking a long time to turn on after being in standby.
Only gave it 4 stars because of the lack of tone controls. But then thats what the pre-amp is for!
