PyleWireless Home Audio Amplifier System Bluetooth Compatible Sound Stereo Receiver Amp - 6Channel 600Watt Power, Digital LCD, Headphone Jack, 1/4'' Microphone in USB SD AUX RCA FM Radio- PTA66BT.5

I purchased this 6 channel amp/receiver to replace The proprietary amplifier for my 5.1 computer speaker system. Proprietary systems don't normally allow one to replace part, as parts are not available. If the amp stops working, you are expected to throw away the entire system and spend big money to buy a new system. Stupid designs like that enable electronic waste and polluting the environment. After studying my options, I was not going to throw away perfectly good speakers. This Pyle six channel system was a perfect solution. I could modify the way the speakers connected and save a lot of money. This Pyle is powerful and produces good crisp sound. Six channels accommodate 5.1 speakers with room left for more. Each channel has it's own volume plus there is a master volume. Operation of the various controls is intuitive. One year warranty is standard. However, upon registration, my warranty became three years. I am happy with this reasonably priced amp.

My Problem...I have speakers all over the place... Two behind my pool, two on my back patio, four in my house spaced out... Either you run multiple mini-amps to each... OR you get something like this!This monster will give you complete control to up to 6 different channels. (12 speakers in total.) This is more than most home configurations will ever need.My configuration is running about 200+ ft of copper / speaker wire per. Each line dedicated per speaker...Simple plug and go, adjust sound with knobs. Plenty of sound control beyond just normal volume knobs. Even works as a decent sound system for TV's, Projectors, and other situations. (Not a surround sound type system...)Overall I could not be more pleased with how this has made my life easier when wanting to listen to music ALL over my property. Neighbors were a bit frustrated so I have had to learn to control and point speakers. I am working on balancing this a bit more so that I can have more coverage around my pool area.Only issues are...1) No ability to control volumes per channel without manually adjusting. (Solution adding volume knobs and other controls outside of this device...)2) Cannot adjust bass, treb, etc per channel. Its all or nothing which isn't bad, but would be nice to adjust...3) No app or far away controls. (I use an Alexa plugged in using auxiliary cable... This way I can control certain aspects via my phone...)Even with these three main things... Its still a no brainer. The cost of this beats out just about everything else on the market. Even the other ones on the market do not have the controls this one does.

I've had this for about a week. I'm replacing an older Sony 7.2 surround audio video receiver. The old Sony unit was so complicated that I never really figured it out. So I wanted something simple. So I went from an 80 page manual that I never really figured out to a 5 page manual with almost no instructions. I knew going in that this wasn't going to be a Kenwood or a Onkyo or a Marantz. So I wasn't surprised at "entry-level-ness" quality and function. For the price, it's really not a bad unit if you know what you're getting. Which I didn't. It's called a "Stereo Receiver Amp".. however, IT IS NOT STEREO!!! There were a few reviews that said this, but I guess I didn't read them. So for that reason, this gets a single star. Misrepresentation is a non-starter. OK if you are going in without the expectation of stereo, then I would say this is a good unit for what it is. The remote stinks and is nearly useless. Read the other reviews about that. The way it forces you to switch to BT every time you turn it on stinks. Figuring out how to go through the various modes to get to BT is a little strange the first time because it never tells you what mode to put it in (turns out, it's MP3 mode and not AUX, but the manual doesn't tell you). It doesn't have AM (which I knew before I bought - so I won't hold that against them). I should have known it wasn't stereo when there was no L/R balance option. Another thing is that I wish it had 3 inputs in back instead of 2, but the work around is to run an AUX cable to the front 3.5mm jack. Also, it's hard to see the notches on the knobs so you may end up blowing out your speakers or eardrums when you turn it on and have to go through the FM tuner to get to BT. I was going to get some little white dot stickers to put where the notches are, but at this point I'm going to return the unit. I don't know what I'll get - I'm trying to power my whole-house speaker system - so 6 PAIRS of speakers was perfect. Bottom line, if you can live without stereo, this is not a bad unit. Love the BT. Seems to pair pretty good. I really like a lot about this. It really cranks loud - the sound is 6 on a scale from 0 to 10, but if you're not an audiophile, the a 6 is probably OK for you.
