Decent little amplifier
Nice amp for its size. Decent power output, very clean, low distortion at high volume, produces very little heat if any, and unlike larger size power amps of similar power output it doesn't require a heavy high current power supply to run the unit. I haven't measured the actual power output, but it's comparable to what most head unit produce but much cleaner and way more efficient.
Pros: Compact size, clean high output,
Cons: Doesn't have mounting holes, need to drill them.Read full review...

Badly assembled. Cut corners. Cannot possibly have the rating advertised.
Inside is a Tripath TA-2020A chip, which cannot exceed 20W (the product claims 90W). It's supplied with a 12V@2A power adapter, so theoretically it cannot even exceed 24W. It's poorly hand soldered, and the inductor (for smoothing the power supply for sudden loads) was replaced with a short wire. A 220uF capacitor was installed on the spot labelled 470uF. It's also designed to shutdown at 12V instead of 13.4V, so you get less sound out of it.
I have a Lepy LP-2024A+ and I can tell that the PFA300 muffled the vocals and high frequencies. I got much deeper bass and high clarity from LP-2024A, but I couldn't get the voice/treble to sound as clear on the PFA300.
The LP-2024A is cleanly wave soldered and it's easy to modify (replace with better parts) as it has quite a bit taller. At least the screw holes are flushed for LP-2024A while the PFA300 is boderline aligned enough to fit (some screws has to go in at an angle).
The PFA300 is made by lazy designers using from junk parts. This unit is going to trash.Read full review...

Small, light, powerful, reliable, and affordable
I have this amplifier to drive two Mica B42X book shelf speakers playing music from my laptop, and the sound is superior to any set of external laptop speakers, and believe me I've had many, from Bose to Logitech to Dell. Having real bookshelf speakers always beats external dedicated laptop/PC speakers sound wise, and the price is about the same.
Pros
Reliable. I've had mine for a few years, and it's still going.
Powerful enough to drive two bookshelf size speakers rather well in a room or office.
Not expensive.
Cons
The RCA jacks started to drop the audio after about a year even though when I tried different RCA cords with them. This is why I took off one star. You compensate for this by using just the 3.5 MM audio jack to attach to your laptop or computer. In the picture, note the 3.5 MM jack and cord.
A bit too light. The amp will slide around on your desk when you turn the dials, unless you somehow secure it to your desk, put something heavy on top of it like a speaker, or push it between two stable objects. For me, I placed mine between the base of the monitor and one of the speakers so it wouldn't move around. Read full review...

Perfect for limited space applications. Sound is big and full.
I bought this to use with a 100 watt powered sub woofer and a pair of two way speakers I built from a kit from Full Compass. I wanted something small because this is for my garage so I could listen to good High quality sound while working on things in my garage. And not take up a lot of space. This worked perfect. And the sound is full, and clear.Read full review...

Almost great.
When I got this I hooked it up temporarily to check it out. It worked good, so I unhooked the speakers to run the wires nice and neat. When I did this I noticed one of the springs had popped out from where you connect the speakers and I couldn't find it. I've seen other reviewers with the same problem with Pyle amplifiers. It was my first Pyle product and likely my last.Read full review...

Good product for the money!
I bought this product because I had a subwoofer speaker and needed a practice amp for the bass guitar. I didn't have a lot to spend on a manufactured name brand amp. This amp worked perfectly for my purpose. My bass plugs in to the "mic" 1/4 inch plug input. It won't shake the walls but I don't need that for practice. This would also be perfect for a home audio set-up or provide power from an audio interface.Read full review...

Very pleasantly surprised, especially for the money
I picked this up to resurrect a pair of Bose 201 Series III bookshelf speakers. I had been thinking of getting a receiver or standard integrated amp, but was attracted to this tiny amp's size, and I didn't want to spend much, if anything.
It was delivered one day ahead of schedule, and I hooked it up. Wow! It's plenty loud, very clean, and with a slight boost on the treble and bass, these speakers sound pretty natural and transparent top to bottom! I'm a musician and composer/producer, and this is my spare bedroom playback system for reference. For the money, it's exactly what I needed.
We'll see how it holds up, but I don't plan on abusing it. The speaker terminals on mine seem solid, as do all the knobs and switches (other reviews mention flaws in these).Read full review...

Very Good Little Amp
I was skeptical at first, but once I installed this I was very impressed. It has a lot of bang for the buck and puts out very good sound quality for such a small unit. I don't really think it totals 90 watts rms, but it still has plenty of power for its size. It appears to be well made, fit and finish is nice. The only suggestion that I have is they should pre-drill the mounting tabs on the sides just for additional ease of installation. I may buy another one for an additional project that I am working on.Read full review...

It’s good but delicate
This thing amplifies very well but be careful with the cheesy speaker wire connectors...they can fail to work or fall apart. For the money tho it’s worth some trouble.

Great little amplifier
Great little amplifier, I've had absolutely no issues with it, and great quality for the price, definitely good bang for buck here, just wish if had a headphone output as I now have to use a separate headphone amp, and it would be nice to have some mounting holes, but otherwise, really great little amp, very happy!Read full review...
