Review 5 of 21

Price Paid:  $500.00 from Dealer

Summary:
I owned one of these for a year. Bought a yamaha based on the 18+ years of solid performance from a 1010 integrated---was greatly disappointed. DSP modes weren''t worth using. Pro logic made some occassionally weird noises in the surrounds. But, it was the lack of body from the amplifier that caused me to sell it---I just couldn''t get use to the thin, flat and uninvolving music reproduction.I experimented with a few quality speakers all were lacking in heft.

Strengths:
Okay FM tuner. Phono output.

Weaknesses:
DSP modes are for the most part a useless "sales point". Amplifier is clean but doesn''t grab hold and move the speakers with any authority.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
