"Ultimately, I love the simplicity of just an MBX-AMP with a nice pair of speakers and a digital audio cable to a TV. With that one wire (plus speaker cabling and power, duh) you have the making of a great little 2-channel system that will let most users listen to anything their heart desires."- John Sciacca - Residential Systems
"This MBX-AMP is hands down one of the easiest streaming devices I've ever set up."
