After burning in for 72 hours, things got noticably better. Warmer, smoother, more deatiled, dynamic etc. This is like nothing i've heard before. Gentle yet dynamic, hyper smooth, yet hyper detailed. Extremely transparent. It mates well with the Wright preamp (duh!) Oddly, the difference between hi/lo gain isn't as drastic-Hi has *slightly* more detail and transparency, visual, but has a slight edge, Lo is smoother and more immediate. Downside? the bass below 60 hz is *slightly softer than the cardinals.
The intimacy and immediacy is unlike anything I've heard before. Saturday afternoon, I was listening, and there were chills running up and down my spine for hours.I've never been so connected emotionally to the music before. At times tears were streaming down my face. I was so overwhelmed, that I eventually had to stop for a while because I was physically and emotionally drained. This is what we shoot for folks. I will never view audio equipement the same again. This is a *music lover's* system
Would I recomend these amps? No, because most people don't have compatable speakers-these cannot be dropped into any old system. OTOH, If someone is just starting out, and willing to get rid of their preconcieved notions, and willing to search for the right speakers, I would recomend them. With the preamp, you can spend less that $2K(save money for better tubes tho) you can havce the preamp and amps, and put more money into your front end and speakers. This will *embarrass* your audiophile freinds. These amps absolutely stomp all over my Cardinals.
Despite what I've heard, they are NOT dark and sweet. When I put on a bright disc(Wavestar's Moonwind) I discovered new demensions in PAIN.
Enjoy,
Jack
