    Excellent review! 1st one out for this unit! Thank you!!!!! Totally agree with all your points! My thoughts are that they could have eliminated, BT, the powered sub output (who uses that), of course the bigger volume knob, a third tone control knob for "mid", and a full sized/varible subwoofer output, full sized PRE-AMP OUTPUT. This unit COULD have been much better with little changes.

    Thank you for switching in the video to the shot of the bt20 pro every time you mentioned it. That was very funny, but also very clear to show it every time you mention it!
    01 if you set it to the usb input
    02 turn off external power
    03 turn on external power
    Does
    A. The unit turn on?
    B. The unit remember the last input source and select that usb input?

      That is correct - the unit WILL turn on, and it WILL remember the last input selection :)

    Looks like a fosi bt30d pro, which is this thing with less un useful features like a mediocre dac and vu meter, but with sub woofer volume and frequency control. For 100$ that thing is a way better deal compare to this.

    5:57 I agree, unit like this should have a fixed LINE OUT. To compensate for the MC351's low-level PRE-OUT, why can't you simply raise the volume of your powered subwoofer?

    • @GREQReviews
      @GREQReviews  2 місяці тому

      I do.
      With the sub at FULL volume, it is still nowhere near as loud as it should be to be balanced with the sound from my speakers.
      It's a matching set of Yamaha NS-615B + Yamaha NS-W1.

    • @ropeburn6684
      @ropeburn6684 2 місяці тому +1

      Yeah seriously. If you have a subwoofer, what's the point with running main speakers full range? They will just be stressed with subbass which they can't reproduce anyway.

    • @GREQReviews
      @GREQReviews  2 місяці тому

      Good point.
      The MC351 assumes the sub has it's own high pass filter.

    • @forog1
      @forog1 2 місяці тому

      Just buy bass blockers they are cheap and put them directly on the positive terminals on the amp then run your wire from it to your positive side of your speaker terminals. I have a 150hz bass block on mine now the bookshelves are playing nothing below 150hz however I left the sub unfiltered and is the only thing left playing low.

    • @ropeburn6684
      @ropeburn6684 2 місяці тому +1

      ​​@@GREQReviews Usually they do, yes. But active ones, on line level. How are you gonna loop the filtered signal back to the main amp? You'd need tape loop functionality or something, or else you'll need to use a separate preamplifier for source switching, negating the whole point of an integrated amp.
      All this nonsense could be avoided by having a simple highpass for the main channels. And ideally a matching lowpass for the sub out.

      Ok, but seriously ... Is it just this video, or also my more recent videos?
      I did modify some recording techniques recently that I hoped would make the audio more clean, but I only test the sound on headphones at home.

    I truly believe the designers behind Fosi’s components, while they can crank out good-for-the-money electronics, have no idea how the equipment is used in the real world. Sort of like developing cool software without taking into account the user experience. Maybe some nascent AI is writing up the requirements 😂

    • @GREQReviews

      Every single product I've reviewed from them had at least one quirk or oddity.
      SK01 seems like the most 'normal' ... until you realize it has a BATTERY inside making it somehow portable!??

      Fosi is emerging as the king of "Almost"...
      ua-cam.com/video/ox-NkyEFTmo/v-deo.htmlsi=P8DX88eU3hjq6ort
      Like most of these mini-amp makers I seriously doubt they're sitting down and planning systems or analysing use-cases. It's more like "Hey I've got an idea" but never thinking it through to how useful it will be.
      This MC351 will likely find a home with people wanting better than average TV sound, repurposing a third speaker as a sub-woofer. But that's about the only niche it will fill.
