Review 2 of 8 Summary: i am not going to bash this as far as rating, just don't understand.it surpasses in so many ways other lesser amps.it doesn't blow them away, but does posses many qualities, yet it just doesn't involve me. it does not put the magic in my heart.i love dynamics. the drum beat reaching out and grabbing you.i have to have good base etc.if it had a more aesthetic sound it would be a winner!!!!!!(HANDS DOWN), but i prefer the best of both worlds.i went on to read other reviews and found it is not impossible...pass aleph 4, e.g.it states extremely tight bass and a smooth sweet high end and it costs a little more than 7k. Strengths: i listened to this and felt the dynamics were to die for.the bass pushing a pair of 801's was definitely a bass call that was that of a ML or better(krell e.g.).it's midrange was very good.high frequencies were definitely a little better than your 2 or 3k amps. Weaknesses: but it was still the same sterile sound that all the later models stiil possess.i would rather have the best of both worlds.read the reviews of the pass aleph 4, or the sim audio moon. they state close to or better at the strengths yet not at the cost of an aesthetic smooth or sweet or whatever you want to call the actual sound of the music.ml, and krell for 4k or more even used would really appeal to me if they had what other amps at that $ range had . I love to listen to smoother more refined highs yet not at the expense of detail.maybe I am ignorant and just don't understand.i know i am not but in a category all by myself.a dealer i know who has been in business since 1967 when i was only 15 also felt the same way.so if he thinks that then i guess i can feel validated in that is how i also feel. Similar Products Used: aragon,audio note,krell,ml331,etc.
