LEPY 2024A Plus Amplifier - Silver/Black & AmazonBasics 16-Gauge Speaker Wire 1.3 mm² - 30.48 m (100 feet)

Great little amp. Let me explain what I was trying to do and why I chose this amp. Basically I wanted to pipe music into my large kitchen with high ceilings. I already have a good AV/Hifi setup in the lounge, with full size speakers and surround speakers. I wanted to have the same music piped to the kitchen. I mostly use Spotify. I wanted to do it all on the cheap, and also because I find it fun to source all the bits myself and get a solution which is not "off the shelf". SO I bought a MUZO Cobblestone wifi streaming thingy (find it also under DIGIFUNK here on Amazon). Tested that with some tiny pc speakers and worked fine, but wanted something beefier to fill the room. I had a couple of old Bose Acoustimass speakers which I mounted on on the wooden beam which stretches across my kitchen. I bought this little amp based on the predominantly positive reviews, and was not disappointed. Hooked up to the Bose speakers it sounded good but lacking in bass, which is what I would have expected as the Bose speakers are very small. I now needed a passive sub I could somehow wire in. Got a passive Pioneer sub from Richer Sounds for £4.99 yes £4.99. It is very solid but quite low profile which is what I wanted so I could put it out of sight on top of kitchen wall unit and hidden by the pelmet. Of course the Lepy amp lacks a connection for anything except left and right speakers, but looking on the net I found plenty of people simply feeding a passive sub (passive meaning a subwoofer without its own built-in amplifier) by hooking its wires into either the left or right speaker connections on the amp. I also read all sorts of horror stories warning against this, talking about frying the amp, overheating etc. but as is usual with me I just ignored the warnings thinking - what's the worst that can happen ? All I can say is I have had this working for over a week now, listening for several hours a night at about half to two-thirds volume. It is a revelation - with the passive subwoofer it has transformed it into a rich and open sound, very detailed, with plenty of bass, but not overpoweringly so. If I add up what I paid: £17.99 for the amp, £4.99 for the Pioneer subwoofer, £40 for the wireless Muzo Cobblestone, I have got myself a multiroom system for the princely sum of £63. Now I know you can get a bluetooth speaker for less than that, but with a proper wifi device like the Muzo hooked up to this amp and proper speakers, you get much better range, and by using a half decent pair of existing speakers you might have knocking about I can't see how you would ever get that quality of sound with a bluetooth speaker. Getting back to the amp, some people have said the tone controls are rubbish. I haven't found that to be the case at all. In fact I prefer the sound with the treble turned up to just over halfway and the bass at about two thirds the way up. Each to his own I suppose. The volume is plenty for me - I can't see a situation where I would ever want to turn this up full. I am right on the edge of annoying the neighbours as it is. I have not been able to get the amp warm at all. It is as cool as anything. Oh, and it's size means you can mount it discreetly, in my case under the overhang of kitchen worktop island unit. All in all a great little Chinese made amp that does exactly what it says. If only I could turn it on and off remotely like I can my AV receiver but for 17.99 what can one expect. Very pleased !

Very impressed with this amp. I can't believe the price and sound quality. I have two bookshelves style B&W 686's hooked up to my Desktop PC, and the music is glorious. Out of ten, this is a win!

I'm using this in combination with a Behringer PP400 Microphono Ultra Compact Phono Preamp assorted colour for my Rega Planar P1 turntable and the results are fantastic.The drive, bass and treble options add a great sound to the raw audio coming from the pre-amp if you're into that sort of thing but the straight throughput sounds good too.It's a very well constructed device and I used the mounting brackets to attach it directly to my speaker system for neatness. That said the mounting bracket is a permanent thing and can't be removed which might put some people off.

I purchased the LEPY 2024A Plus Amplifier - Silver/Black along with2 x White 5" 80W 8 Ohm Dual Cone Ceiling Speakers so I could listen to my echo dot in my bathroom.The speakers are water proof, so are protected against the steam in the bathroom during use. I placed the echo dot in the attic and connected it to the LEPY Amp via the aux out socket and then connected the speakers.I use the echo dot voice remote to request songs, and the music is pumped out to the two speakers I have installed into my bathroom ceiling. We love having baths and showers now, with music playing. BRILLIANT.

I moved recently and found myself in the new house with 3 sets of speakers in addition to the small surround speakers on my 5.1 system. My favourite speakers have always been a pair of Celestions bought in 1978 which I've connected to the main household hifi, however I also had a good pair of Pioneer speakers from the early 90s as well.Now I don't consider myself a Hifi purist, although I do still maintain a record deck for my old vinyl and do like a nice sound. I mean the music that came out in the late 60s and early 70s was streets ahead of most of today's Simon Cowell inspired drivel that sports the name of music these days. Once upon a time musical ability took pride of place over how well your looks fitted the music industry. What I'm saying is that I know what sounds good against something that is manufactured for the teeny music populace, so I wasn't expecting great things from this amp. It has however proved highly capable of producing a good sound out of the aforementioned Pioneer speakers.So yes, it produces a good sound so about the amp. It has two, non-selectable inputs, so you could attach a turntable to it via the RCA inputs, or a phone/tablet via the 3.5 jack socket. I ran some music I'd bought through Amazon via the Amazon music app (using the 3.5mm jack socket) and was impressed with the quality. The amp only has a treble and bass control so you can't mess around too much like you could with an equaliser, however if you're playing decent music it's usually recorded as it should be listened to so you should need to mess with the sound. The amp does put out a decent volume level that thankfully the Pioneers are well able to handle. The amp is very small so can easy fit into any space.So overall, if you only want to run one input to this amp (ideal for people buying a turntable and expecting to hear music without attaching it to anything), or you don't mind switching the inputs, then this amp should serve you well. Just make sure you get a decent pair of speakers to go with it.
