If it does what you need and it was the best price then it is fine. They
are all similar inside and use switches to combine the speakers in various
parallel and serial arrangements to achieve something between 4 and 8
ohms.
They do expect that you are using 8 ohm speakers so if you use 4 ohm ones
then you may sometimes end up with a 2 ohm load and than's a bit low. My
amp protection circuits kick in sometimes when I run 2 ohms.
