Great overall experience. Will use these guys again. Good advice and they upgraded my volume controller automatically because the one I ordered was sold out. Good move and made me very happy. Thanks! - James

Looks good, smooth control, clean sound. - trukr59

I just purchased 8 of these for my new custom home and they work great. I also purchased ACE400 Trimless Speakers and an SPW 8 Zone speaker distribution panel and the system works great. - Eman

For the price I was really impressed at the quality of the construction of these units. You cannot tell the difference from the higher end volume controllers that cost over $100 each. Here are my Pros: - I like the slider because I don't have to worry about a house guest over rotating the a knob and damaging the controller. With a slider you can instinctively look at it and tell the range of travel and at what volume level the unit is at from across the room. Which is great if you have kids who like to play with knobs all the time. - There is zero audible static, clicks or defects through the sliders range of adjustment from your speakers when making adjustments. - Love the removable plugs that allow you to hookup your in wall wires without having to dangle the entire unit from a few wires while you complete install. You get a removable plug for both your source and to your speakers. wire the plugs then connect to the controller and screw in place. Love that! - The built-in impedance selector is great as well so if you don't want to buy a separate speaker selector you don't have to worry about damaging your amp. The only two minor complaints I would have are: 1. The white face plates on all of mine were not truly white so they don't completely match standard white face-plates you get at you local hardware store. The did all match one another, just not a pure white which is noticeable to obsessive compulsive people like me. On the plus side you do get multiple color plates to suit your home decor. 2. The slider does not have any noticeable detent's in its range of travel which is very good. But on the negative side as you are adjusting the slider there are very small 'deadbands' or spots where you don't get any volume adjustment for the small amount of travel you put in. Again not a major issue as you still get a linear range of volume adjustment over the full range of the slider, just a few spots where it kind of stutters I guess. I bought 6 of these through out the house each one powering a pair of 8" in ceiling speakers and terminating at the OSD 150w amp. I couldn't be happier with their performance and quality and this is my volume control of choice going forward. - Sean

I bought 12 of these. I love the way they sound and in general I would say I am very pleased. The only negative is that the Plate and Slider mechanism doesn't slide very smoothly. It tends to bind. I see this on all of them. Now I don't adjust them terribly often so it's only an annoyance but if you are REALLY picky you might want to consider the dial type. - Mtn Chris

I got four of these, and was a little suspicious when ordering because they are reasonably priced compared to big box store brands. They are a great product and a great value. Had to make a call with a question regarding impedance switch, and support was a helpful, english speaking person. - Audiohouse

I placed these speakers out on my back deck and connected them to my whole home amp. The spreakers provide great down for a very resonable price. - None

Customer support above and beyond. Cannot go wrong with the quality , price and shipping. Excellent buying experience. - Martin
