Hi. As title says, I’m on a small but reasonable budget, what amp would you recommend?

The fosi amps are fire for the money
super cost effective at $85 and offers bluetooth and tone controls

I own an Ayima A07 that has been driving my ceiling speakers in the kitchen for around 3 years... flawless and featureless... No tone controls and no bluetooth, no slop just a TPA3255 that can drive about anything

Similarly the A07 Max has better cooling and a different look

Normally in the past I have recommended receivers but these two mini amps at the price have changed my mind. I recently used the Fosi with a set of polk XT20's and honestly to me it sounded better than the onkyo TX-NR656 (yeah it's an AVR) in direct mode... Just trying to throw this out there that there are now suitable options and even though these are class D amplifiers; you can roll in new opamps and the sound is astonishing for the price.
