Yes, I have this one -- http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=300-380 -- and am very pleased with it. It is fed by an SBR connected to mysb and outputs to two BW DM600 speakers. TimT's Profile:

Cheers all. Both the Muse and the Audio source fit tag bill perfectly. I'll see if I can track one down Btw , just to clear up any confusion I meant a Logitech Receiver. By using two wireless routers as wireless repeaters I've managed to successfully extend my wireless network over a good

I use a class t-amp from think geek (omni products, dayton ) in my garage with a receiver as a source. Simple on off and volume, even battery power (!?) It works and takes up minimal room ( 5X5X2). Must use efficient speakers. mark

An old receiver is great for a garage system, especially if you still listen to FM. I love the old receivers from the mid 70s to early 80s. Pioneer, Yamaha, Kenwood, Sansui, Marantz. Classic, and can be had for cheap at yard sales and thrift stores.

I don't know if the AudioSource Amp100 is available in the UK, but I have a couple and they are great. No tone controls or loudness button, but simple, robust, cheap, and sound good. http://www.amazon.com/AudioSource-AMP-100-Stereo-Power-Amplifier/dp/B00026BQJ6

Hello, I'm after a simple, no frills and inexpensive amplifier for a Receiver to run a pair of 40 watt 4/8 ohm speakers. It'll be going in my garage so should be robust. Tone controls and loudness button would be useful.. not bothered about balance. All amps I can find are too overblown for
