Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $4995.00 from Factory direct

Summary:
After being a tube lover for over 20 years, it came as a big surprise that I would enjoy a solid state amplifier so much. I have heard Krell, Levinson, Classe, Gamut, McIntosh and more but none of these combines the utter control and resolution together with a sweet and extended high end I am hearing with the PS Audio powerhouse. My Magnepan 3.6 speakers have never sounded so extended and tight, with depth and soundstaging that seems like surround sound. If I sound overjoyed I purchased this amp, you're right. This is an audio best buy.

Strengths:
See above description.

Weaknesses:
This amp fleshes out musical instruments better than anything except the best of the mega buck tube monoblocs (Manley, VTL, ARC Reference Series, VAC)

Similar Products Used:
None since my last McIntosh 25 years ago.
