Pioneer A-30-S stereo amplifier (2x 70 watts, AUX, Tuner, Loudness, Direct Energy Design) Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

After my previous amplifier / receiver, a Sony STR-DG520, had had enough, I found myself at this time to a pure stereo amplifier. Surround I had never used and the SONY had pesky noise or a constant, but low, buzzing. As evidenced by some research, many buyers of this equipment were affected and complaints and seeking advice, there were many.
So now it was time to buy at the time an ordinary pure stereo amplifier.

Few months ago came a new series of Pioneer on the market, which also includes the Pioneer A-30 belongs. After a short time I realized that all the reviews or testing this equipment certified superior sound. A few weeks later readings and now I have the SONY and sold (ie silver) bought this Pioneer A-30 south.

I'm excited! Not only the sound is pleasant, even the feel of the device and the remote control are excellent. A front made of aluminum and a pleasantly heavy remote control; This feels very good. The remote control I do not even have to use to keep the direction amplifier the amplifier! Just keep somewhere in the room and the amplifier responds immediately. Very good! In my Sony I had to literally beg and fully aim at the infrared sensor to get him to cooperate!

I currently have 2 JBL Northridge E 80 connected to this amplifier, and think that they fit very well with him. Have already read a few times that these speakers something Bass missing, and there was written here in another review that the bass is too strong a little, they form probably a pretty good combination. To me at least like the sound very good!

Is a pity that the remote control at the silver version is also "only" black. But I can probably get over.

Via remote control the way you can dim the LEDs on the amplifier in 3 steps. Very good!
In addition to blue LEDs, there is a Power / Standby LED the red green in operation and standby lights.

This device I can only recommend any small audiophiles!
Interested should definitely watch the rest of the new range of Pioneer. Information, I myself have unfortunately found only sparsely, a pity! Since Pioneer would perhaps make some extra publicity.
