The A250 uses mostly similar parts to th A150, ergo, there is no difference in sound with the exception of the A250 having more wattage for bass.
This comes directly from Mondial, and three dealers I talked to.
There is a predjudice against this amp, and over 5 years I have heard it in all type of applications.
On vandersteens, B&W,Signet and others it wasn't bright, it was smooth. Brightness to me would be like old Klipsch Heresy's and using a Kenwood super reciever with zip cord connecting the two. ARRRGGGG!
I firmly believe now for a variety of reasons, the power of suggestion that this amp is bright [started on the 1st model by Sterophile] has been exaggerated and fell into peoples minds as a fact they want to hear because they saw it it print.
If anything, I'd say forward, but bright in a brittle or harsh way it is not at all.
