Perfect to boost echo dot output
Crutchfield customer from Sacramento, CA on 7/11/2021
This is exactly what I was looking for. A way to boost the output of an echo dot to some wired outdoor speakers. Works just as described and the in wall design gives the overall project a nice, finished look.

Great Find
Marcos from san antonio on 6/21/2021
Great product. Has been in use for over a year in my outdoor cabana. Installation was easy but to make things look professional I hid the AC adaptor in an access panel where I also managed all the other wiring. Plenty loud for the cabana and adjacent pool if you don't need to blast your music. I also have a TV in the cabana that is wired to the secondary source of this unit. This gadget solved my cabana audio issues.
Pros: multiple inputs (2); professional look;
Cons: Need to use ac adaptor

Impressive System
Crutchfield customer from St Louis, MO on 12/13/2020
I've purchased 8 of these for our new home we are building. Our old house had whole home audio that involved several amplifiers and remotes that were not very intuitive. Our old system was barely used as it was too complicated for my wife and kids. This system could not be easier and sounds great. Not only does this provide whole house audio and individual room audio, it also acts as our intercom. This eliminated an additional system I had to buy for the house. Our general contractor and every sub-contractor at the house has been thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend considering the Vail Amp system.
Pros: Simple to use Sounds great
Cons: None

Really nice outdoor speaker solution
Crutchfield customer from Phoenix, AZ on 6/27/2020
Sounds good, easy to install. I can imagine having these (with dual driver efficient indoor speakers) in bedrooms as a smart, high-fidelity intercom system. For outdoor use this is more convenient and flexible than controlling outdoor speakers with wired outputs from an AVR 7.2 system having digital source limitations of the secondary channel. To make it a five star product - have a transformer option that fits inside a wall box.
Pros: Convenience Adequate fidelity and volume with high efficiency speakers Smart control of music source Can be used as intercoms
Cons: Low-power Class D isn't going to win audiophile awards Wall wart wiring is a little weird

Vanguard Dynamics Vail Amp
Crutchfield customer from San Marcos, CA on 6/9/2020
I love the idea of this product, but it just doesnt deliver. The speakers are capable of so much, but the amp is too small. The speakers dont get very loud.
Pros: Great for a small area
Cons: Amp doesmt have enough power. The speakers dont get loud enough
