??? Axxess Audio Forte 1???

 I didn't want to hijack the "Integrated That Blew You Away"thread so here we are..
 Has this integrated impressed anyone here?
 Reviews are 99% Gaga positive..I have read 1 single commenter here on A'gon who didn't like it at all but that is the single dissenting comments I have found pretty much anywhere..
 If it did impress you,can you please provide info on associated gear you heard it with..Thanks much,take care..

I just got an Aavik i-280 which comes from the same house in Denmark, as far as I know the Axxess use similar technology so they should sound similar to the Aavik. I am over the moon with the I-280.

My local dealer/friend loves the Forte. It's become his favorite all around amp. It pairs well with all the speakers he has. He has the 1 and the 3. They all sound great with the more expensive one not tons better than the cheaper one. Find a dealer that has any of them, or take a shot and buy used.

I had the U-280, which as far as class D amps go, was one of the best amps I owned. I heard the Axxess Forte at a dealer and was very underwhelmed. It’s not in the same league as the Aavik amps that’s for sure.
