Hifitubes, I have had a pair of `Rachaels` bridged as `monos`, for stereo, about a month now. Around 50 hrs playtime. Still undergoing the `Decware improving with time` period, which, as members are allways reiterating will be a long time. But, tube selection notwithstanding, ( mid price nos &`dun rolling for a breather` ) the amps are as good as the material being fed in. No surprise there. They go very wide, give excellent sense of depth, and back to front is all there, 3D. Even top to botttom. If the drummer sits above the band thats where he`ll be. Bass, well, I think all bands should give the recording engineer a drink (tip) to record it well, `cos there are times it goes loud`n low,...and extended. Not often they let the kick drum try and pop the cones but listening to some JJ. Cale they did and it was very nice. In fact JJ albums `do` dbl & guitar bass and these amps love it. Treble. You can definately get lost in fluid guitar tone here. S.E.T. mid range heaven. Something that really surpised me was the hitting of metallic objects. Bells, cymballs, rims. Stark, airy, snappy, and they ring with a natural decay new to my ears. I`ve heard a small amount of piano, not solo, and just as the whole deal they sound effortless. I cant talk about emotional airy fairy stuff but it`s the kind of sound where you just enjoy, and want to play more. And yes I can hear more info into the grooves. lol, you knew I was going to say that didn`t you, after all I do have Decware amps. You must get the same sound from your Rachael.
