Review 1 of 1

Summary:
This amplifier is more or less the big brother of the legendary PM80MKII. It sounds just a little better because it has a more solid power supply. I use this amplifier together with two sets of self modified Magnapans SMGa. (I redesigned and build the filters and bi-wired the speakers)This combination sounds very good! The dampingfactor of the amp is adaquate at 2 ohms! Due to the heavly load I improved the power supply of the PM82 and that was worthwhile!

Strengths:
Sound is very natural and transparant in Class A operation.

Weaknesses:
Just a bit too little power in Class A.
