Summary:
This amp is accurate, dynamic and very detailed without being bright. Power is available at any moment, the bass is tight, and the mid is pleasant. Sound stage is about laid back (but may be it is more the nature of my speakers). Didn't find anything better at this price level.

Summary:
I bought the K-1 MKIII about six months ago. On the used market for under $600 with the right equipment synergy you'd be hard pressed to beat the sound. With clean electric coming in and decent associated equipment this amp will not disappoint. It is fast, dynamic, with good prat, detail and extension on both ends. Late at night with good clean power this unit sounds very good. Only issue I have is the original remote didn't come with it and my Logitech Harmony doesn't always work. Does not affect the sound though. Does sound better being left on 24/7.

Strengths: Power, good finese, dynamics and top to bottom coherrency.

Weakness: Remote issues only on my unit.

Price Paid:  $650.00 from Singapore

Summary:
Bought the amp way back in 2003. After some long hours of break-in, the amp finally sound pleasant with sweetness especially in female vocals. It is a great entry level integrated amp. With its 120wpc, it can drive many a speakers. It is built to bi-amp especially with its own products too.

Strengths:
Power per channel; sweet sounding with female vocals;

Weaknesses:
Can be quite harsh sounding with certain loud music

Price Paid:  $594.00 from Birmingham/UK

Summary:
I purchased the Roksan kandy MK3 amp April
of 2004. It's got a nice sound, but i don't feel the amp is as good as it is made out to be in the British Hi-Fi magazines. I sold it last September when i
purchased the Naim Nait 5i, which i totally enjoyed listening to, i just didn't feel the same emotional connection with the Roksan.

Strengths:
Poweful, 120 watts per channel.

Weaknesses:
I didn't feel there was an emotional connection like listening to the Naim

Price Paid:  $1000.00 from www.hifi4less.com

Summary:
Stunning power, control and impeccable timing.

Very detialed delivery eclipses the similarly priced Cyrus 6 by quite a distance.

With 120wpc @ 8 ohms doesn't have any problems filling a good sized room.

Only weakness is rediculous running in period. Took at least 6 weeks of almost continuous usage to open up the midband.

Strengths:
Timing, power output, dynamics. Superb high frequencies. Exceptional value for money.

Weaknesses:
Running in period is extensive, so bear that in mind when auditioning from new.

Similar Products Used:
Cyrus 6, Roksan Caspian.
