Summary:
Simply the most musical, most balanced and most satisfactory amplifier I ever heard and owned. One of the most underestimated amps in the Audio World. Unbelievable.

None

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)

None since my last McIntosh 25 years ago.
