Summary:
This is actually a review of the Denon PMA S10II integrated amplifier. After reading the great reviews for its smaller brother, the PMA 2000R, I went out and bought this instead on the recommendation of the shop owner, obviously after hearing it for myself.

It is a massive amplifier, almost broke my back once when trying to move it. Denon's engineers really worked hard on this beast, cramming it full of quality parts and a great topology.

The sound? Well, the S10 is as powerful as it looks. The details and soundstage that spewed forth were amazing rock solid, and yet deep and wide. I can only say nothing unfazes this amplifier. I have used the krell and classe integrateds before, and I must say the Japs have done well. At the price, the Denon is an amazing bargain.

It looks awesome too, although some might prefer a more understated look. Buy it with confidence!

Strengths:
Soundstaging, good resolution of details

Weaknesses:
heavy!! looks like a beast.
