After reading many articles in addition to an interesting by an engineer to amplifiers and HiFi, confirmed to me this "expert" a personal impression I cherished for many years. Much of what is said when it comes to hi-fi, are ultimately personal opinions. They often have to do with precious little facts. Sales strategists then create esoteric aura, creating their guru adepts. That's nice for the seller and are the Eingewiehenen certainly a good feeling. Sorry do not have to be the ones that can not afford. There are Bordeaux wines for more than 10,000 euros. And there are amplifiers in similar price ranges. There watt battles and kilograms battles. In good form you can be guaranteed even with this equipment be "happy". And if you would taste a Bordeaux for 10,000 euros ???
I want no sound for large rooms - there are PA systems. Ergo I do not need watt Boliden. Which incidentally also cost - take a look at only me, what pull the amplifier in the quiescent current. Pioneer is in this regard for an AB amplifiers quite well there. By the way - who wants it sparingly accesses Class D, which would then A50 or later - also in price. Let's assume that we will effectively ia need about 3 watts, we are very good because with this amplifier. Sure, it is so small, it acts as mikrig. How is the sound good. But can not be. A remote control I do not need - very helpful could be the second output for speakers.
Even if we neglect the technical characteristics once, which are excellent, we must not forget that our ear hears only in direct comparison where differences are. Ultimately, it will provide the sound transducer - in other words its speakers - that will make this different "statements" tonal style. For me personally is "test.de" very pleasant - because the devices are differentiated in a blind test and are less exposed to economic constraints in the evaluation. But again, a lot has changed. No cheaper universe speakers more towards an expensive Braun, who then emerge victorious. So be it, if you access to established brands, you can not go far wrong in general, should know their craft. The key is then rather your personal taste or your purse. As I said, even here there are meaningful evaluations that cost-benefit analyzes. A certain lower limit should be complied with: so no no-name products or equipment with obscure test reports. (Even in this respect has test.de springs left due to manipulation attempts by producers. As always, when it comes to a lot of money, greed is aroused and someone maybe "weak".) Dear look for discontinued models prospect when the checkout scarce or a monetary reason decision is preferred. And have a look closely: Did foam surrounds the chassis? I personally would prefer to let their fingers from holding namely only about 10 years and only handwerklch clever can you fix what is of course possible!
So, let's stay times on the ground and in reality - then we are on this unit close to the audiophile reality - provided suitable transducers and premises. From my subjective point of view, I can only say that the amplifier has with my speakers on a very soft-toned treble reproduction. But this quality is, as I said, also apply to the competitors.
