for the TaranisI am the proud owner of a Merrill Audio Taranis amp.
It uses the next generation Hypex Ncore technologies in Class-D.
Bass is incredible compared to ICE from many years ago in the Class-D technology realm. Highs are syrupy and midrange is very pleasant but also very very intense.
The unit is very very light weight for an amplifier that can produce enormous power. I am very happy with it, it powers my Anthony Gallo Nucleus Reference 3.5's with ease.
Product Weakness: none for the price Product Strengths: power, sound quality Associated Equipment for this Review:
Amplifier: Merrill Audio Taranis Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE Sources (CDP/Turntable): Digital Speakers: Anthony Gallo Nucleus Reference 3.5 Cables/Interconnects: nordost, audioquest Music Used (Genre/Selections): everything Other (Power Conditioner etc.): shunyata Type of Audition/Review: Product Owner
