My brother in law purchased a used Thule integrated amp from a private party. The preamp portion of the amp had a really bad hum that developed after using it for more than a few minutes. (The scumbag seller would not give him back his money for this defective item. The buyer used it as a power amp only, so he said he never noticed the problem, but that it must have been shipping damage. Yeah, right! Needless to say, there was no way UPS was going to cough up for the repair bill, when the unit and the packaging had no signs of damage.)
Anyway, trying to get service for the Thule (here in the U.S. at least), turned into a nightmare. Luckily it had inputs for by-passing the preamp, which allowed him to use the integrated amp as a power amp only. Of course this forced him to buy a used preamp to go with it.
Anyway, the sound is decent for its price point, and you typically get a good amount of power for the money. But if it were me, I would pass.
My two cents worth anyway.
