I returned this item as once it arrived I determined it would not work with my stereo system. It was my error in not looking at my system prior to ordering. However, I do believe it would have been just what I was looking for and was fairly pleased with the quality.

THE BUTTONS ARE A LITTLE “CHEESSY” BUT THE UNIT WORKED PERFECTLY.
WE USE THE SPEAKER SELECTOR TO LISTEN TO THE TV WHILE JOGGING ON THE TREADMILL (THE TREADMILL IS IN THE NEXT ROOM FACING THE TV THRU A DOORWAY SO IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO HEAR) WE ADDED AN ADDITION CENTER CHANNEL NEXT TO THE TREADMILL AND WITH THE SPEAKER SELECTOR WE CAN LISTEN TO EITHER THE CENTER CHANNEL ABOVE THE TV AND / OR NEXT TO THE TREADMILL.
SEAMS TO BE AN EXCELLENT VALUE FOR THE MONEY.

I bought this product in January, 2009 and it seems to work very well, but on a limited basis. It turns out that many newer stereo systems have 2 sets of feeds (wire pairs) from their tuner/amplifiers to each of the main speakers – one feed for lower frequencies and one for higher frequencies. This is true even for systems that have a separate sub-woofer. Unfortunately, the Sima SSW 4 does not support this configuration, since it provides for only one set of input feeds (per speaker) coming from your main system. I tried several different combinations such as splicing the high and low frequency wires together into the Sima, but everything I tried resulted in overloading either the Sima or my source stereo system.
I did try using the system by connecting only one feed per speaker from my stereo in the Sima and then onto my speakers, and it seemed to work very well. However, the limitation is that you can only play the high or low frequencies through the main speakers, depending on which feed was connected.
Ultimately, I had to return this product, but I believe it works well with systems that have only a single wire pair per speaker. The bottom line is this: if your system has 4 wires coming into each speaker, I don’t beleive the Sima will work for you.

Used this impedence matching device to interface between my new 8 ohm system and my original 4 ohm speakers. I used my old speakers as the rear surround sound units and installed a new 8 ohm 7.2 amplifier with a new set of 5 speaker set of a pair of mains, pair of side surrounds, center and a subwoofer. So far, everything is performing fine with our new plasma.
