from The Sound Concept Summary: A very pleasant surprise! This amp is something special. Free from electronic glare or harshness, with no obvious sacrifices in clarity or resolution. It manages to have a very natural tone, without rolling off the highs the way warmer (more veiled) amps tend to. Highly recommended, if you can find a demo (or used); compares with 5-channel amps costing over $2500. Strengths: Great resolution and detail, with soothing, natural sound. 280W into 3.2Ohms; slew rate = 65. Weaknesses: Some transformer hum, esp. on the small relay transformer (which my dealer greatly reduced). Only 2x20=40 microfarads of capacitance for all 5 channels. No longer manufactured. Similar Products Used: Anthem PVA7 (similar value, though not quite as nice a sound), Audio Refinement Multi (warmer; pricier), NAD Silver (no better, but pricier), Rotel (far worse/harsher), B&K (worse humming & ground loo
