1700 Wireless Speaker Kit with one Wireless Amplifier, 2x40 Watts, 300ft range

Been installed for about 5 months now, works great for us, powering 2- 6” Pyle ceiling speakers in the kitchen & dining area, to spread the sound out from the main system in the living room.Couple of things: 1. the base and receiver are both powered with transformers and stay on all the time. Plenty of things in your house have transformers that stay plugged in & powered up continuously, but for this device, I wanted to power it down when not in use, to extend service life, etc. So I plugged the base transformer into the switched outlet on my a/v receiver. I do have to manually plug/unplug the receiver transformer in the laundry room, and there is a little “pop’ each time this happens, but not a big deal.2. Pay attention to speaker connections with a home theater/subwoofer type system. To get the best, full-range sound, the inputs need to be full range, which may take some finagling (this is not the fault of the Amphony device however). Since our receiver has the 7 “small” speakers (the “size” of the connected speaker is selected internally by the receiver) and a subwoofer, and no full-range line or speaker-level output, I had to use a Y connection from subwoofer output ALONG WITH the speaker-level inputs from the front satellite speakers to the base unit to get a complete, full range sound sent to the receiving unit for the kitchen speakers.When I connected everything using just the “small” size front speakers, the kitchen speakers sounded thin and tinny. But now they sound awesome! Hope all that made sense, GL!

Says the return period is 30 days. It worked great for a few months. Now no matter how many times I pair, unplug, replug, power on and off, turn the dials up and down, whatever, there is mostly static, even when the receiver is off. When it's on, I can sometimes hear the music very, very, faintly and it's overpowered by the static.I've got $100 worth of worthless plastic with some circuit boards inside. Don't be fooled.

I bought my first Amphony wireless speaker kit 5 years ago to connect my surround speakers and avoid running cables through walls & ceilings. The system was easy to install and the sound from my speakers was excellent. Unfortunately, several months ago the sound from my rear speakers started to break up. I tried all of the suggestions in the user manual to correct the problem which could be caused by interference. None of these solutions worked so I order a new kit. As soon as I replaced the transmitter, the problem was corrected, with no need to replace the amplifier. One possible cause of the failure was due to leaving the transmitter being plugged in all the time. As one Comment suggested, the transmitter can be plugged into the switched outlet on your receiver, if you have that option, to extend the life. My current Yamaha receiver does not have that option so I will try to unplug it manually when not in use.

This Amphony 1700 is quite a potent little package. I was looking for a way to get music to my back garage. I spend a lot of time there working on my cars and tractors and the local radio stations leave a lot to be desired. I decided to look into wireless transmission. I have a total distance of 85' from transmitter to receiver, in a separate building. The 1700 offers an amplified receiver which eliminates the need for a separate amp in the garage. It is rated at 100' through walls which is more than some of the more expensive units. I've not had good luck in the past with advertised ranges for other wireless devices so I contacted a seller (HIFI Corner) and asked if they thought it would work for my conditions. They said it should but, if not, I could return it, so, I ordered it. Boy am I glad I did ! Although 85' is probably its building to building limit, with careful positioning and aiming, the sound quality is excellent. I'm driving two way, double chamber reflex speakers ( w/ 8" woofers, 5" h/f drivers) with the 40W x 2 receiver/amp. I was expecting a tinny, AM radio sound (which would have been acceptable) but the sound is rich and colorful - a splendid surprise. Now I can hear any of my music, CDs, vinyl, cable music stations, in its full glory while my hands are covered with grease and oil up to my elbows.For my installation (at the limit) I found that mounting units as high as possible helps. This is a new installation and I hope it will last a long time.UPDATE:It's March 2019. After 2 1/2 years, the 1700 is still working fine, no problems. I've just added a second receiver for my shop in the basement. It, of course, works fine because it doesn't challenge the limits of range. I'm still amazed at the sound quality. I couldn't find a seller for the receiver (R1700) alone and the Amphony Web Shop doesn't accept PayPal on their web page. I contacted Amphony.com and they were happy to charge my order to PayPal. It's a very good company to do business with and their products are top notch. (I do hope they will include PayPal in the future)

Very easy setup, When I connected all wires and turned switches on from both transmitter and receiver, it just connected and started to work even without need to push any pair button. Sound quality is good too, although rear speakers sound quality is not as critical as front ones. Very satisfied. Hope it will last long.Update: I find this device interfere with the bluetooth signals sends from my iPhone to the receiver I use, which resulted in broken music play. But it seems ok with my home Wifi internet signals.

It works as advertised, but the plastic speaker connectors are made of really cheap plastic. I snapped one off while connecting to my speakers.They used really tiny speaker line connectors that will not handle any wire larger than 18awg, and do not try to force it closed or the clamps will snap apart like mine did.I was expecting much higher quality speaker wire connectors, especially at the price
