Difficulty installing Niles SVC100K

Overall performance of the switch is flawless. Appearance and the materials used are top notch. However, connecting my speaker wires (16 gauge) was a nightmare. Engineering design of the clasping mechanism or, pull back clips is sub par. The smallest female would have difficulty pulling back the clip release even with a 1/8 th inch blade. The instruction booklet while very high quality (Niles) did not say how to move the clips to the off position enabling insertion of the wire. I was under the impression that they were spring loaded and needed an additional hand to hold the blade opening the clip. Later I learned that the clip while spring loaded to capture the wire actually had a detent position enabling me to insert the wire and release the clip. While this may seem trivial to those in the trade, it is a defitine negative to the experienced engineer/homeowner who wanted nothing more than to change out an inoperative switch. Back to the drawing boards Niles and in the meantime update the literature to include proper instructions on how to release the clip.

Great Wall Volume Controller

Great volume controller. Connectors physically hard to pull off unit to connect speaker wire. After the two connectors (for amp and speakers) with connected wires are pushed back on circuit board, the volume control is easy to install. Very good wattage rating at 100W. Many volume controls only support about 50W.
