Its the best sounding Power Amp I have ever used. Its transparent sounding, with no noticable harshness or coloration. Sufficient headroom for my needs, and with a Trace 18" and a SWR 2x10 puts out visceral bass with tangible mass.
I like the ultra-light, one rack space package and no blower. I use solar power, and this amp is very efficient. Case construction is not the best, and the 1/4" output jacks wiggle a bit, but the banana jacks (both reds are used for bridge mono) and XLR (as well as 1/4" TRS) inputs are ok. It makes a fine package with my Demeter VTBP-201.
