I just received my A2 from the previous drop. Initial impressions are very positive. Solid construction and controls . Slightly confusing instruction manual, but quick to figure out with a little experimenting. My setup is not yet conducive to critical listening as I just unboxed the speakers and did a hookup to check for OOB failures. SInce the bookshelf speakers are on the floor up against a wall right now, I really appreciate the ability to roll back the bass a couple clicks with the tone/volume rotary digital control knob.
TIP: Hook up the external power supply to the A2 before plugging it into the wall. I did the opposite and the spark was unsettling.
I'm using it to drive a pair of Infinity RS-3 BLK loudspeakers. Don't hurt yourself looking for information on these vintage babies. They are ported 2-way, 8 ohm bookshelves, with one each 6.5" woofer and 1" soft dome tweeter. I originally bought these 15 years ago, but my wife deemed them too large for the rear channels in my old home theater 5.1 setup (all but the sub were Infinity RS series, 3 different models). The RS-2's that replaced them were deemed a better size for the decor. So, the RS-3's were out of their box for about an hour back in 2001 before going back in, getting sealed up, and then stored for 15 years. They look and sound as good as new. The power rating is 15-100W and the A2 has no trouble driving them to louder than needed levels in my home office space.
Now I just need the SMSL M6 to arrive and flesh out the setup.
