Reports[edit]

Apparently the first version of this amp has no AUX input, no balance control and the headphone output is on the back. The cabinet is made of plastic nevertheless makes quite a solid impression. The sound is very good even with inexpensive speakers (original version Mission 70, 2 way, no bass reflex).
