Summary:
I replaced my solid state Pre/Power combo (Naim) with these amps, driven by way of a passive pre amp. When I first ran them through my speakers I laughed out loud, then when I re- connected the Naim amps I laughed more! These amps have been one of the biggest, most surprising and cost effective upgrades I have ever made. I call it an upgrade, but they were cheaper than the Naims, which made me laugh again, harder. Huge (but not exaggeratedly so) soundstage, beautiful description of timbre, deep musical bass, airy upper-midrange. These amps have, as they say, got it going on.

Summary:
These 100w monoblock are built like tanks, are extremely neutral and do not impose any of their own character on the music. So be warned they do not add the normal warm sound associated with valve (tube) amps. They are however extremely powerful and crystal clear producing an efforless sound with astounding base capability. In my experience they also seem able to drive any speaker you can throw at them. Very neutral and very powerful. Highly recommended.

Strengths:
Sheer raw power, neutrality, outstanding base and the ability to drive just about any load.

Weaknesses:
They weigh a ton. so re-enforce your shelves.
