In this age of 1000-plus Watt stereo amplifiers it's easy to forget that there are still plenty of uses for a small 120 watt per channel amplifier like the Pyle Pro PCAU44 Mini 120 Watt x 2 Stereo Power Amplifier w/ USB Input.
You can use it to fill your kitchen, den, bedroom or computer desk with music from your Walkman or MP3 player via its front-panel USB input or CD/MP3 mini jack input to a pair of desktop speakers.
And it works just as well to amplify the weak audio your netbook's or notebook's speakers put out. Again, just feed the audio into the PCAU44 via the USB input or use a mini jack to connect you computer to the PCAU44.
In both scenarios, just add a modest pair of speakers and hook them up to the back wire-capture terminals and you've got audio loud enough to dance to.

Comments about Pyle Pro PCAU44 Mini 120 Watt x 2 Stereo Power Amplifier w/ USB/CD Input:
Exceeded my expectations. I was looking for a small amp to power 2 x 100watt speakers in a large basement room. This does the job very well! It's small size makes installation easy. It's very well built with a metal case and very heavy feel to it. Very powerful too! There's no problem driving the speakers...I usually leave the volume at half or below. Any higher is too loud but still has very little distortion. Probably could blow my speakers apart if I wanted. Simple to use with RCA inputs. I plugged in an Airport Express and use it with Airplay from an iPhone or iPad. Only complaint, if I can find one, are the bright blue LEDs on the front. No way to turn these off either. They'll certainly light up a room which is kind of cool looking. But you may need to cover these lights if you don't want the light spilling into the room. I'd definitely recommend this amp to everyone!
