Price Paid: $3500.00 from JB audio (ebay)

Summary:
This is a wonderful amplifier. Very sweet without sounding "syrupy". Very detailed. Bass is unbelievable due to a special output transformer. Will drive almost any speaker. The best amplifiers I have heard are: Atma-Sphere, Jadis, and my Cary SLM 200's.

Strengths:
Beautiful tube sound. Detail. Incredible bass. Lots of power, even when wired in triode mode. The amps run cool. The bias is easily set.

Weaknesses:
Only weakness I can find is that these amps are very heavy. (85# times two)

Similar Products Used:
VTL (recommended), Kinergetics class A (recommended), Hafler, Electrocomponiet, Adcom, Atma-Sphere (highly recommended), Jadis (highly recommended).

Sanders Sound 10b Speaker Review

No, you can’t always get what you want. The number of loudspeakers surpassing the cost of a decent family sedan is staggering. Then there are speakers that cost as much as a house.
