Happy New Year everyone. I have the opportunity to review the new Fosi Audio T10 Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 5.0 Amplifier 2 Channel Home Amplifier. Just as a reference, here is my background. Electro-mechanical engineer out of Temple University, DIY hifi geek, and former engineer at the Allen Organ Company when they handled Legacy Audio’s speaker manufacturing.
For my testing I will be using the “seat of the pants, real world” listening review over a few days utilizing the following equipment:
Custom Legacy Signature 4ohm tower speakers. (They are my reference speakers.)
Legacy Audio Studio 4ohm bookshelf speakers.
DIY 8ohm bookshelf speakers.
DIY 8” ported sub w/200w amplifier.
Cardas bi-wired speaker cables.
Belkin Pure AV Power Conditioner.
Legacy/EAD TheaterMaster Processor/Preamp.
Legacy/Coda Continuum 350w amplifiers.
First on the agenda was the unpacking. Boxed very nicely and packed very well. You will notice a very nice build quality, especially for a unit of this cost level. The small speaker binding posts are different for me since I am used to the standard sizing on most amplifiers. They work very well and have good tolerances for bare cables, small spades, and bananas. Just make sure you keep your leads separated since the posts are very close to one another. I do like the separate power supply on this system. I think more manufacturers should go to that design. Good stuff. The remote is straight-forward with standard functions. No backlighting on the unit but it isn’t a deal breaker by any means. You have some nice functions including the ability to add bass and treble. You will need to install the antenna for the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The next item, after light assembly and powering up, is downloading the WiiM App for the Wi-Fi streaming device/phone. The software is very straight forward and easy to setup. One thing I did notice while trying to link my Wi-Fi router to the T10 and my phone, was to make sure you are within “line-of-fire” during initial setup. Once you are linked, you are off and running. The number of choices on the WiiM App for streaming audio is very good with most of the known services available. (TuneIn is my Wi-Fi streaming service of choice for this review.)
