Review 1 of 4

Price Paid:  $1140.00 from Demo model from Hifi

Summary:
This is a rocking amp with lots of power! 5x125 watts, and allmost twice as much in 4 ohms. Be sure to warm it up for at least one hour to get maximal joyment to your listening. Togheter with my Primare P30 sorround processor this is one for the books. It also looks like a million $ and in the winter you don't need to burn wood or heat up with a electric owen. This one gets SO WARM it heats your hole house! :)

Strengths:
Lots of punch (read: power). Looks great. Warming your house while your listening!

Weaknesses:
Makes it damn hot inside in the summer! Open your windows hehe :)

Review 4 of 4

Price Paid:  $2000.00 from Ljudbutiken

Summary:
I've had this one since january this year(2000) and it replaced my Adcom GFA-7000. The big difference is the deep low end that is more powerful than the Adcom. Also all the channels have the same amount of power=you get more detailes and sound from all your speakers. Clean sound without anything added is a way to describe the sound. Build very sturdy with good connectors of metal and 12 V remote on/off input. Very low noisefloor and little hum from the transformer. At 120 W/8 ohm 200 W/4 ohm theres plenty of power but not one of the most powerful amps. But it does output more power than the Adcom GFA-7000, and it's rated at 130 W/8 ohm but not as much in 4 ohms so maybe there lies the answer to that. It's made in Sweden and the price is ok for an amp of this level.

Strengths:
Lost of power in all channels. Powerful low end. Very good chassis and connectors. Detachable powercord. Clean sound.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
