Summary:
I've noticed there have been several positive reviews of the Muse 160. Well its about time one of the hidden gems of amplification gets its due. The 175's are unbelievable in there ability to just get out of the way of the music. They
impart a very relaxing sonic signature to the music. I hesitate to compare them to tube amps as I have not heard some of the best tube amps, but the bottom line is they are very musical. By musical I mean very 3-dimensional and a rendering of total emotional involvment. They do all of the audiophile things as well. In fact, they compete easily with amps costing several times there cost. What else would one expect from the Kevin Halversen and his team at Muse?
Needless to say highly recommended and they will stay in my system for a long time as a speaker upgrade is in the works.
Thank you Kevin and to you as well Brook!
