Review 1 of 10

Price Paid:  $12000.00

Summary:
In fact i have SPM 1400B, but that isn't listed, so i thought i'd crowbar my opinion into here! Basically, everything that the SPM1200 does, the 1400 does more of. It's almost impossible to explain how much these amps, in combination with a CPA4000E have transformed my listening experience. It's like *real* equipment pitched against stack it high, sell it cheap toys. Simply no comparison. A joy to operate too, as well as to listen to.

Strengths:
The sheer slam of the things, coupled with the deft control. Utterly unphased with whatever you throw at them.

Weaknesses:
Need wider than average supports with Integra legs.

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.
