I buy this little wonder more than half year, at frist I use them to push my old KEF speakers(86dB 4ohms), sound is ok but lack of bass and lifeless. I don't know that is my speaker's problem so I just try to upgrade tube and internal parts, after I find out my old speaker's spec, I know that is my speaker's problem, so at last week I exchange them with JM Lab 705, after change the new speaker I find out this little wonder's real power, I can hear bass!! And I enjoy to relisten all my CD collection again and again!!
| Product Weakness: | need high efficient speaker >90dB |
| Product Strengths: | small size and easy to modifly, sweet high and mid, NOS tube not so expensive and easy to find, incredible bass with matching speakers |
