Fosi Audio MC101 Bluetooth Stereo Amplifier with VU Meter 2CH HiFi Receiver

I am using this in my home office paired with a set of 4-ohm vintage JVC bookshelf speakers and 12-gauge OFC cable (perhaps a bit of overkill, but worth it). I primarily stream from my computer(s) but also play CDs on a connected, decent quality (but clearly non-audiophile), portable DVD/CD unit with OFC audio cables - more overkill. The sound reproduction is very clear and balanced, even at low volume on the CD player and when streaming. There is no noise when connected to either source. I mainly listen to jazz and classical guitar, so the sound quality is important. The VU meter is a nifty feature, not terribly responsive at low volumes but fun, nonetheless. The unit's diminutive size, retro-tech vibe, and stylish finish look quite cool in my bookcase applicatin. The smallish JVC speakers I paired it with are great performers, with nice range and balanced, tone. They are visually and acoustically a great match for this amp. Bluetooth pairing the MC-101 is reliable on my Windows 11and Windows 10 computers; when I turn on the amp, it finds the connection right away. Perfect - everything I could have wished for without spending big dough!

I’m using it in my office to power bookshelf Cambridge Audio speakers. It’s a little short on overall output but more than enough to meet my needs. Great value and the AV meter is a nice touch.
Strong recommend.

Thx for extraordinary customer support.

A compact design for the output. Great for small room or office. Good looking front end with the Vu meter although you have to look real hard to see its movement. The volume at low levels seems out of balance (l-r) have to increase to at least half to achieve balance. Overall a good value for the price.

Doet precies wat ik verwachtte: oude speakers zonder versterking weer activeren. Mijn twee speakers van 150 watt met een bass gedeelte worden perfect aangestuurd. Wellicht een keer een sub proberen aan te sluiten om echt laag te ervaren maar is in feite niet nodig. Apparaatje is lekker compact en oogt leuk (boven op de speaker).
