Summary: Unbelieveable clarity and transparency. Great bass for an
SET amp. Not in the same league ,as far as the extreme low end is concerned, as
some of the finer SS amps, but the clarity and detail in the midrange and high
frequencies is amazing!. No edginess or brightness. Not colored like some tube
amps. It will blow you away. I listen to Jazz, chamber music, and rock, and I
have discovered a higher state of sound reproduction with these amps. The Classe
and Moon amps I have auditioned do not even come close. I also have the mono
blocks and they sound even better.
Strengths: Detail, clarity, lack of harshness, eminently
listenable, no ear fatigue, and incredibly musical where you lose yourself in
the music.....(literally)
Weaknesses: bass could be better, but it's an SET
