Pros & Cons
Pros
These are great for nearfield/ desktop use. If one can familiarize themselves with a retro paradigm, it's serviceable.
In terms of powergate's sound quality, subjectively it sounds just fine to me. The next notch more than quadruples the sound. The sound is excellent, the simplicity is material and astounds me.
Not normally a product reviewer, but felt compelled to put in a good word for this amp. It's a bargain compared to the sonos amps, and these are more powerful. The on-board amplifier performs well, better with some speakers than others.
This all-in-on continues to operate and all features function 100% currently. Hope in the future dts improves the connectivity. Here's how to get your home bumping.
Setup pulls double duty for pc use and watching tv & movies. Not only tht but this unit really works well with my rp600’s. The remote is nice, works well.
Highlights
Quality
The sound quality is as good or better than the marantz and bw speakers ive got elsewhere in the home.
The klipsch sound quality is night and day better than the smsls.
The exterior build quality is as cheap as the price point it’s selling at.
I've read other's having problems with the klipsch app.
Price
This is the best amplifier for the price (above audioengine n22 and low cost nad).
For the price (was able to get one for around 200) this unit is great.
My rating of 5 stars is based on this price.
Shipping
Two years now, and i picked it up when it dropped down to $150 with prime shipping.
It would have been 5 stars if they actually tested their product and fixed it before shipping to market.
Packaging/appearance
The jury is out on the 'sub-out's.
Wait for each zone to add on the the stream before selecting the next.
Competitiveness
I purchased this amp and a set of klipsh reference 8 speakers.
I used audioengine p4 speakers with a definitive technology subwoofer.
So if anyone wishes to use this as rear surrounds with a soundbar, there will be issues.
This thing is a monster with my new klipsh speakers!

Some additional review of playfi now that ive spent more time with itin my brief usage of the application over a few days now i can understand where the dissatisfaction comes from as the user interface at least within the android version is not up to contemporary standards
