would this be a good amp for my son to use with old Tannoy speakers. Is this only for PC computers ?

Absolutely. He can plug an iPod or other USB device into it and be good to go.

This should work for that. I have mine set up to work with an old pair of B&O speakers, and it sounds great! It's not a super powerful amp, so it won't get all that loud, but it puts out good sound. It has both USB and RCA inputs so you can hook it up to a computer AND another external input.

It's a really nice, clean-sounding amp. It works best with efficient speakers and when hooked up to a computer to take advantage of the built-in DAC (Digital to Analog converter). As others have pointed out it's a little under-powered but fine for a smaller room (e.g. bedroom). It also has a really good headphone amp.

TP30 has 15+15W RMS output which is sufficient to drive medium-size bookshelf speaker or desktop monitors. For larger speakers, you will need higher sensitivity. I'd recommend a newer model Topping VX1 which has 25+25W and a 24 bit DAC. Best aspect of either unit is that in addition to USB you can plug in a line level input also.

Speakers need to be efficient, which I believe Tannoys would be... it will make them sound AWESOME! This little amp is fantastic.

It may be. my son has 2 - 12" speakers in a box and this amp has worked on his but it is pushing its max so we are upgrading to a 1100 amp. but for these speakers it should be fine.

My speakers came with a Dell desktop PC & require connection to an AC 120V electrical source to work. They connect to audio out on the PC via a miniature jack.

With these speakers you will need another amp. You could hook some computer speakers up to it and it will work though.

Yes they can. The plug physically matches the PC jack. And I haven't found that they need an amplifier for anything yet. The PC should put out enough power for your uses.

This amplifier works great with PCs. I have my pc connected to mine. I could not get the USB input to work

Dear Mr. Beatlefan, I am running a sewell digital to analog audio converter to the Pylepro pca1 stereo power amp. to auvio 100w x 2 4" 3-way indoor/outdoor speakers. I have been using this for over a year and it works well and it's all i need for my room.

You will need an amplifier and an audio box to connect the amp to your PC. These speakers become more expensive than sticker price when amplifier, audio box, and cords are considered. I would NOT purchase these. Spend the extra money now on a pair of good self-powered speakers and an audio box and thats all you'll need. Spend the money on that stuff now or spend MORE money on these speakers as you go.

Thanks for your question. You will require a preamp. If you have a conventional audio card for your PC you will require a preamplifier. This is a fantastic sounding amplifier. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Musical Fidelity dealer.

I use mine for stage monitors and it is a great amp with an even frequency response and no coloration. As long as you put in good speakers, it will sound correct. My only concern is the RCA inputs could be bright. Shouldn't be using them anyway. Run balanced audio and don't look back.

Yes! While it's a small amp, it has a powerful sound. I use it to play my keyboard and it sounds great! This doesn't play in stereo but maybe that's not an issue for what you're going to use it for. Hope this helps.

This is a good amp but it's for a small system. Like for myself, with no loud music all the time, just once in a while to show off. Lol. Your speakers have a range of 400 watts if I'm not mistaken, so it should power it since it's a 500w model. But I would recommend you to get a 1k watts amp. Kenwood's a pretty good brand for this. At least mine does the work like a charm.

You can use it with your computer if you get a 1/8 stereo to 1/4 mono Y cable or adapter. Like this http://www.amazon.com/GLS-Audio-Y-Cable-Splitter-Cord/dp/B0062QPERU/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1404382380&sr=1-11&keywords=1+8+stereo+to+1+4+mono I would recommend this amp instead of the low quality Pyle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00508JFKI/ref=oh_details_o05_s03_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No problem. I use in a one-channel antique jukebox for the phono input. Very few of the modern ones have a phono input anymore and they need a pre-amp. This is a road-warrior amp, and I have used several of them for different projects over the years. One takes the output from my surround sound unit and powers speaker pairs all over the house. Another goo feature is that the off-on switch stays in the position you leave it and can be used in a switched power outlet of a master amp or anything else you want it to respond to. I keep coming back to this amp and have been very happy with them...especially the price and availability.

Yes, my daughter got this Amp as a gift for just that purpose. It has been great so far :-)

It has an 1/8 headphone jack. If you output that to any kind of amp connected to speakers, it will produce sound. But it is not powerful enough to drive speakers itself with any decent results. You could probably use a jack with another male 1/8" and put it into the microphone jack on a computer. But I can't guaranty good results.

This is a nice little amp, but it's probably not the right one for your needs. Technically, you could use it for metal... but I think you'd consider it a bit underpowered for that style of music.
