I know other brands made good audio equipment, but I've only ever cared about Sansui. I did buy this nifty little 30WPC rms Pyle last year though. The plan was to use it as rear amp with my veteran AU-6500 and newly acquired QS-1, but before it arrived I decided the rear amp had to be a Sansui. So I bought a Sansui S-X500, but before IT arrived I decided to give in to my 40-year-old longing for an AU-9500 to complete the quad equation. The only time the poor Pyle has been used was when I was testing some used speakers.
