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.
