Pyle Pro PCA1 Mini 2x15W Stereo Power Amplifier
Pyle Pro's PCA1 amplifier was designed with today's music lover in mind. The PCA1's smart, compact design fits neatly on top of a computer tower or next to your laptop to power personal audio speakers. MP3 player or iPod headphone outputs may also be used as an amplifier source with the use of a 3.5 mm stereo plug to dual RCA jack adapter. A very linear wideband frequency response means you won't miss a signal note of a song, and two-channel four-ohm stability allows you to use this amplifier with a wide range of speakers. There is no need for a separate power supply; Pyle Pro has built it into the chassis. Switchable support for both North American 120 VAC and European 230 VAC is included as well. Specifications: *Power output: 2 x 3 watts (4 ohms @ 1% THD), 2 x 4 watts (4 ohms @ 10% THD) *Frequency response: 20-40,000 Hz (±3 dB) *Signal-to-noise ratio: 75 dB *Power requirement: 120/230 VAC *Dimensions: 2.17" H x 5.62" W x 4.22" D.

rating: 5
I bought this amplifier to replace the stereo/amplifier combo unit in an old mini system, which was starting to give up on me. For the size and price, I wasn't expecting very much, but I figured I do most of my listening at fairly low levels and a mere 15 watts wouldn't be a big handicap. I figured it was worth a try for the price.
Wow, were my doubts misplaced. When you pick this tiny amplifier up, any questions about its quality immediately disappear. Despite its unimpressive size, it weighs a hefty two or three pounds. Made of solid metal, it's got fairly high-quality connectors on the back (no fancy 5-way binding posts, though) and everything has a very smooth, solid, substantial feel.
The low power rating isn't an issue either, especially if you're comparing to typical department-store stereo equipment, because the ratings on those systems are usually complete fabrications. In fact, if you've got a typical set of 8-ohm bookshelf speakers, this amp should be able to run them dangerously loud before you start to notice any distortion. The frequency response also seems good; it's definitely better than the response for the speakers I have it hooked up to right now, so I can't really comment on the limits.
I'm not sure how well this would work for larger speakers or those with more than two or three drivers, and I'm not sure how well it handles 4-ohm speakers. However, even for moderately large 8-ohm bookshelf units, I can't see a single flaw.
