Easy to set up and a great amp by Andrew G.
I've had this amp about a month now. Setup was very easy. I had it playing Blue-rays and doing everything else before I opened the manual. Having one wire from each component and only one wire to the TV is fantastic. The amp must be on when you watch TV. I have FiOS and I can program the remote to use the amp for sound and that remote can control it as well. I also have a universal remote, but the FiOS remote does everything I need.



The sound is great. This replaced an older Harman Kardon with digital inputs but no HDMI. I have older DCM Time Windows for my front speakers, Klipsch center and rear speakers and an Infinity sub. A Sharp LCD TV, Panasonic Blu-ray (for it's Netflix capabilities) and FiOS. I'm not an audiophile but I enjoy good sound. This amp is perfect for me.



Configuration is easy (again, I didn't need the manual). You can label the inputs and you can reassign inputs. EG: I don't have an iPod, I have a SqueezeBox. There is a specific connection for a "Dock" but my SqueezeBox has an optical output. I plugged the SqueezeBox into the TV optical input, reassigned that input to "Dock" and then renamed "Dock" to "Music". After I did that, I was on my computer, and since the amp is on the network I decided to see if it had a Web front end (again, I hadn't looked at the manual yet). I went to [...]/ and a very intuitive setup screen came up. You can also backup configurations to your computer and reload them if necessary. Setup is considerably easier from your computer vs scrolling around using the remote.



The list of good things can go on for a while, in the end, it's an amp, it has a good price point, it does what it does, it does it very well and it's easy to use. So far, I have only 2 minor complaints... I have to agree with the review that said the controls seem 'cheap'. they do, but I'm using the remote 99% of the time so that doesn't annoy me. Considering that EVERYTHING is made to sell as cheap as possible, they have to cut some corners, and it looks like they did there. Time will tell if they cut corners on the power supply or any other critical items. Besides that, my only other complaint is cosmetic. Why do they need a sticker on the front showing Microsoft Windows support? All of the other logos are subtle, the MS one is a colorful sticker... the only color on the unit. This is a feature I don't plan to use as I have a Logitech SqueezeBox for music from my network. My questions is: why ruin the clean look for this sticker? Clearly those are both nit-picking complaints.



I ordered mine from Forrest-Electronics in the Amazon Store [...]). They had it on sale for about $200 off the normal price. Shipping was very fast and it was a new unit in a sealed box with a USA warranty. I gave Forrest-Electronics 5 stars for their service.

Easy to setup basic internet radio by Senor Zoidbergo
This is my first internet radio settop box, and I was impressed with how easy it is to setup the system to sync with a wireless network.



APPEARANCE: The IR2500 comes in a compact and surprisingly very lightweight package, with the front face half occupied by a speaker and half occupied by a control panel comprising a volume knob, various other buttons, and a dial/select button. There is a flared speaker port at the rear, and a low-resolution blue LED screen on the front. The speaker quality is adequate- nothing mind blowing, but at least it allows for external connections.



SETUP: The 2500 easily detected multiple wireless networks in my vicinity, and while a better system of entering the WEP/WPA key could be utilized, the current method did its job, and wasn't terribly cumbersome. The 2500 also automatically downloaded and installed firmware, and set the time correctly. Internet radio and NPR stations were easily setup and broadcast within a few minutes. Brought a smile to my face. Pandora, while requiring registration on the Grace website (minor annoyance), easily streamed from the IR2500.



I did however have trouble setting up the IR2500 to stream shared music folders from a PC. I followed the exact directions as required in the manual, but was unable to detect a PC with shared music. This merits the loss of one star. I don't have a Sirius account, so I couldn't test that aspect.



The IR2500 would benefit from a better method of making menu selections; when there is a long list of options, some sort of faster scrolling method (other than the selection dial) would work more efficiently.



PROS:



- Lightweight, small footprint

- Easy setup, access to thousands of internet radio stations within a few minutes.

- Allows connection to external speakers

- Automatic detection and installation of firmware updates



CONS:



- Low resolution monochromatic LCD screen (should be using color like on the Logitech Squeezebox)

- WEP/WPA key entering method needs improvement

- Need to register on grace website to use Pandora

- Difficulty accessing shared PC music



CONCLUSION: I think it's a very good, entry level internet radio system. Considering that even my own computer sometimes has trouble detecting wireless networks, I most appreciated the fact that it's easy to setup with existing wireless networks. It has a few quirks that will hopefully be addressed in the next iteration.

High-end Power and Sound for an Entry Level Price by HTBK
Jamo isn't as well-known in the United States as it is some other countries, and as a result, we get to take advantage of a price that isn't inflated to take advantage of a well-known brand.



This set of speakers provides unbelievable power and clarity, especially good for movies given the tower setup, but also great for music. It works very well in combination with Jamo C400SUR Black Concert series surround speaker pair as surrounds to make it a 7-point setup, BIC America F12 12-Inch 475-Watt Front Firing Powered Subwoofer as subs, and Onkyo HT-RC180 7.2-Channel A/V Surround Home Network Receiver (Black) as a receiver.



The center and satellites come with brackets on the back for easy mounting on the wall. I use the satellites as front heights and they're perfect for it.
