quotated:Product Weakness: non that I can find >>Yes - exactly, Sector-7. I might even be disposed to drop 3% of my natural cynicism if the review contained:
a) A realistic idea of pros and cons
b) Since I don't quite know what words to put this in, I'll leave it to the imagination of people of average intelligence

Andy, You jest with me. What are you implying? I will ask you again, have you heard a Song Audio SA-34SB amp with 97db efficient speakers?
All I am saying is that I find this amp and speaker combo more musically satisfying than any other system I have owned. You saw my partial list over a 34 year period.
Now we all know that every component ever made has cons. I just didn't focus on any cons with this set-up since I am enjoying my music so much. What, you don't believe me?PROS: very realistic sounding, wide soundstage, excellent depth, great dynamics, sounds are layered, musical sounds jump out of space, sounds full range to me.
CONS: I'm sorry but I can't think of anything I would change.
Just to point out this opinion thing... 4 watts is not enough. not with 97 dB, not with 100 dB, or even with 104 dB. I might be able to live with it at the 104 dB level, but not happy.
As far as the amp sounding good, I have never heard an amp sound good when run near redline. Program peaks always take you over the top and sound goes south.
regards,
Douglas
