from ebay Summary:
One of the better values I've seen in audio. Partner this amp with good CD source and preamp and it will reward you. Do not judge quickly - it sounds lifeless initially - takes a bit to break in (100+ hrs). After break-in, I decided to try it in my main system. My dynaudio audience floorstanders showed this to be a very capable amp. Using a PS Audio Preamp and a good dac, it really shines. Excellent midrange, imaging and vocals with good bass and highs. In fact, after careful listening I decided I much prefer the AMC 2100 to the highly regarded Parasound HCA1000A. So for now it stays in the main system. This is a real sleeper of an audio gem. It also runs very cool, which is a big bonus in the summer. I may get another and bridge them. I can honestly say, if you're having issues with the sound, be sure to break it in and match it with good source and preamp - otherwise you are not hearing the amps true potential. Strengths:
Sound, very good natural midrange, excellent vocals. Good imaging. Runs very cool. Price. Bested the Parasound HCA1000A. Drives 4ohm Weaknesses:
Power cord not replaceable IEC. Needs to break in a while if new. Similar Products Used:
Parasound HCA1000A, NAD, Rotel, Musical Fidelity, Audio Refinement. Dynaudio audience, Athena
