Things to Know

Aiyima A70

  • Volume taper is extremely aggressive; it gets very loud very early on the dial.
  • The subwoofer output is active but does not high-pass the main speakers.
  • Heat dissipation is passive and the case can become uncomfortable to touch during extended high-output sessions.

BRZHIFI Hood 1969

  • No remote control or tone controls; purely utilitarian.
  • High continuous power draw (approx 60-80W) regardless of volume due to Class A topology.
  • Input sensitivity is low; requires a source with a strong output voltage (2V+) to reach full volume.
