Want better sound from those old speakers? It might not be the speakers that are at fault.\u00a0 Chances are, hooking them up to the new Griffin Twenty Digital Audio Amplifier is just what the doctor ordered.<\/p>\n

Griffin Twenty<\/h1>\n

\"Griffin<\/a><\/p>\n

With 20 watts per channel, the Twenty can push most any speaker you\u2019ve got sitting around on your shelf or even those relegated to the attic.\u00a0 I know \u2013 I\u2019ve got a pair of big old Bose speakers that got pushed out of the way when Bluetooth came along.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My newer speakers were smaller and wireless \u2013 what could be better?\u00a0 Well, lot\u2019s actually. With a couple pieces of decent speaker wire and the Griffin Twenty \u2013 I can now enjoy Bluetooth audio, but with some really robust speakers. \u00a0Set in the corners of my office, the sound is just like the old days.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Bluetooth input, there\u2019s also an optical in for the best sound available from Apple TV, your home theater, gaming console, etc.<\/p>\n

And speaking of the old days, Twenty uses a large weighted aluminum wheel on the top for volume control.\u00a0 That was something else I missed when audio went digital.\u00a0 This analog wheel can be set exactly where you want the volume level to be.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to decide on too low at \u201c5\u201d or too loud at \u201c6\u201d.\u00a0 Who dreamed up that idea anyhow???<\/p>\n

With really clean Bluetooth audio, the Griffin Twenty lets you enjoy your audio like it was meant to be heard. It will work with either iOS or Android devices. As a matter of fact \u2013 it will work with two devices operated in tandem.\u00a0 Stop one device and immediately start the next.\u00a0 The Twenty can already be paired with both.<\/p>\n
