@ $26.00 and some shipping charge, the Lepai when is driven by a nice fairly efficiency speakers for near field listening, it simple cannot be beaten.
If you have to listen it loud, I ran across this at Fry's and it is worth much more than the $149.00. Clean and powerful 65WPC with more input and several HDMI in and one HDMI out. Need a sub for movies, there is a sub out for tht application.
I look at some Topping amps with much lower WPC and limited input and it costs like $100.00 or more. Check this Harman Kardon out.
For a small 2.1, I highly recommended this harman Kardon BDS 277. I bought it and returned it for only one reason, all the function like Bluetooth, Fm, Airplay will have to be control with a TV display on. The USB front is Apple compatible with my Iphone 3, 4 and Ipod touch 3g adn it sounds damned good.
If one just need an amp with a lot of inputs 2.1 system and a dvd/ blueray player integrated, this is it for $149.00. I may have my son buy me one again for Father day ,just for its 2.1 USB input usage.
