#100 amp sub panel wire size update#

Connection options: All the models we tested for our latest update let you stream via Bluetooth and connect old-school analog-output audio devices such as turntables (although you may have to add a phono preamp), cassette decks, and CD players.

We considered amps of all power ratings because our previous tests showed that even those models with the weakest power ratings were adequate for typical home listening levels.

Power rating: This is the first spec most people consider when buying an amp or receiver.

Above that price, we would have been getting more into amplifiers and receivers designed for audio enthusiasts, who may have technical demands and brand preferences that go beyond the scope of a guide like this. For anything else, you’ll have to use the supplied remote or the app. We like the simple, stylish design, but we wish the front panel had more than a volume knob and play/pause button. There’s also a subwoofer output with adjustable level and crossover frequency. The amp is also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, and Amazon Alexa systems.īesides Wi-Fi support, the full-featured WiiM Amp includes Bluetooth, USB, and optical digital audio inputs, an analog line input, and an HDMI ARC port that makes it easy to use this amp as part of a TV sound system.

Wi-Fi streaming can sound better than Bluetooth streaming, and you can play the same audio through multiple WiiM products. This integrated amp has good power output and works in conjunction with the WiiM Home app to stream audio over a Wi-Fi network (similar to how a Sonos system operates). If you prefer to wirelessly stream audio over Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth, or if you want to use your stereo system with your TV, the WiiM Amp is our recommendation.
