Hot: These monoblocs amps present an expansive and detailed aural perspective, especially when driven hard. Very nicely balanced with rock and fusion recordings. They’re honest and non-coloured amps, fluid, and show great poise and control. They don’t run very hot with extended sessions. Shoebox sized means fewer worries about rack space.
Cold: Busier recordings can lack some finer resolution. Some may find them to be lean in the mid and upper bands.
Encore: Capable amps that should be an easy fit into many systems, although some listeners may prefer a tubed digital source at the front end when these are in the chain. If standmount speakers and a small-ish room are part of the chain, these will entertain their owner for lengthy periods. They more captivating than their predecessors from two decades ago.
