Introduction:
Every once and a while we get those truly unique products that pass by our test bench. Some of them leave us thinking "why?" and others turn out to be incredibly useful inventions. Today's new and interesting product is the Kama Bay Amp from our friends over at Scythe. This is a two channel 10Wx2 speaker amplifier that is small enough to be mounted in a single 5.25" drive bay and classy enough to be run as a standalone unit on your desk or entertainment rack. Since both are valid options to choose, Scythe hasn't fallen short in providing every single accessory you may need to do either task with the amplifier. Time to give things a run for their money and see if this inexpensive little amplifier will be enough to satisfy the needs of those who may be shopping for a product like this.
