Amplifiers

1 spec sheets, checked against datasheets

The box between your music and your speakers. An amplifier takes the signal from a streamer, a turntable or the TV and gives passive speakers the power to play it. Choose by how much power you need, what you plug into it and whether it should stream by itself. We show each power rating with the conditions it was measured under, because the same number of watts can mean different things on two spec sheets.

Stereo receivers

An integrated amplifier with a radio tuner built in. Good value for a simple two speaker setup, and many add Bluetooth and a phono input. If you will never tune in FM or AM, an integrated amplifier is the same idea without the tuner.
