RE: I've never heard one, do they sound that good?

I've never cared for the MOS-FET output amps sound. Every one that I've heard sounded a bit metallic, and there was no doubt that it was MOS-FET.

Now there could some great sounding units out there I have not heard, like Pass Labs current amp line, should sound great.

My preferred amps are Nelson Pass STASIS units, or Yamaha M series. To me, they are the best bang for the buck.

As always, YMMV.
