Berning ZH270 vs ZH230

Posted by Plinius_Fan on May 5, 2016 at 00:24:40:
I am looking to order a new amp from Berning. He said he can make me a custom amp with about 100 watts output at 6 ohms. I will need that kind of power to drive my Tannoy Turnberry SE effortlessly I guess. However, since it is an expensive purchase I was thinking of first getting a ZH270 or 230 from the used market and listen to the Berning sound. I have never heard any Berning products yet. I am getting a 270 on the used market but I wonder if there is a big difference between the 270 and 230 in terms of tonality and presentation ? I dont want to hear the wrong product and make a wrong assessment. Has anyone heard the older 270 and newer 230 or Quadrature amps to comment on their similarities in sound ?
