Tangent Ampster TV II Review The latest member of Tangent’s Ampster family is Niche with a capital N but it might be exactly what you need
• HDMI ARC
Connect the Ampster TV II straight to your TV.
• Power
2 x 50W amplification.
• Bluetooth
Stream audio over Bluetooth ✔ Excellent HDMI implementation with decent sound quality.
✔ Well made.
✔ Very keenly priced ❌ Very limited extra functionality.
❌ No volume indicator If you have a flatscreen that sounds a bit, well, flat and also have a pair of unused speakers knocking about, the Tangent is an extremely cost effective way of connecting the two together. It does so while sounding very good at the same time If you have other equipment you want to make use of, the TV II doesn’t give you any option to make use of them. This is a brilliant way of boosting your TV sound… but not much else. The Tangent is a rather niche bit of kit in that it does one (and a bit) thing, but it does do that thing very well. This is an extremely cost-effective way of boosting the sound of a smart screen, with excellent integration and more than respectable performance.
