 Xindak A06 integrated amplifier

Able-bodied amplifier
Why would anyone want a stereo-integrated amplifier, particularly when surround sound is all the rage?
The answer is simple and revolves around the fact that most people nowadays have more music in stereo than they have in surround sound. Think iPod, if you like. Add to this the fact that not everyone wants to listen with earphones all the time and you see the reason for an integrated amplifier.
If you happen to be in the market for an amplifier to hook up to your X-Box, PS-3, iPod, or even DStv decoder, we have a great option for you, namely the Xindak A06 which, as you see, gets a whopping 90% rating.
It gets this not because it's the best-sounding integrated amplifier we've ever heard – we've heard a few that are better - or because it has enough inputs, including a USB in, or even because it has lots of power. No, it gets its high rating because it does everything it says it will on the box, does it well enough and does it at a price that put a smile on our faces. It is also the best built amplifier at the price point that we've come across, and its solidity puts all “name brand” amplifiers to shame.
