Onkyo A-5VL
$799.00
Released June, 2009
The Pros:Simple product to hook up and start using, even for complete entry-level users. Fills out compressed MP3 audio effectively, making it sound very close to CD quality. Capable of high power output for loud volume.
The Cons:Audiophiles will notice a definite sharp digital quality to the audio, lacks warmth. Phono inputs will take vinyl records and clean up the sound to the point where it just sounds like a CD.
The Onkyo A-5VL is a 40 watt stereo amplifier offered by Onkyo. This slender amplifier sits only 3-1/8" high and houses both a pre- and power amp in an elegant looking case.
