Great integrated amplifier and a fantastic value
The Dayton Audio HTA200 is a terrific piece of stereo equipment. Great warm sound with plenty of power to drive most speakers to uncomfortable volumes. I am using this integrated amp with a pair of vintage Boston Acoustics CR8 speakers as a secondary system in my office (for reference, my main system is Yamaha Yamaha R-N2000A receiver with Martin Logan 60st speakers). Though the sound quality produced by the Dayton Audio/Boston combination would not necessary fair well in an A/B comparison with my main system, given the price difference between the two ($400 for the HTA200 vs $4000 for the Yamaha), on a value basis, there is no way the quality of sound produced by the high quality Yamaha is 10x better.I had previously purchased and ultimately returned a Fosi class D amp before ordering the HTA200. Simply put, I found the Fosi to be accurate to the music, but sterile; whereas, the HTA200 produces a warmer sound (with an class A/B amp and tube preamp section), much like you would find during a live performance in a concert hall.I listen to music primarily via bluetooth connected to my phone, which works very well with on the HTA. I may add additional sources in the near future - either a streamer or CD player - and HTA provides input options for either via its internal DAC digital inputs and analog connection. The amp also provides a phone input for a turntable equipped with a moving magnet cartridge, a great addition at this price point.Like other have noted, the remote is lacking, with poor response when trying to raise or lower the volume. However, it does work (with the great old school motorized volume control) after holding the button for a few seconds, so it not worth deducting any starts as far as I'm concerned.All in all, I think it would be difficult if not impossible to find a better integrated amp on the market at this price point.Ver másVer menos
