Tekunda, If you buy Soundlab A1 and listen with the Kron please post or send me your impressions via email.

The A1 is almost identical to my U1, so your performance impressions would be valuable. When are you getting the speakers and amps?

Hi Tekunda,
Your experience with Kronzilla + A1 interests me too, immensely. Since you're in Germany, any chance you can try Symphonic Line's Kraft 250 with the same speakers? I've been trying to find the Soundlab model I listened to with the Kraft 250A monos -- but haven't been able to locate the owner... Certainly an A series by the looks of it, and quite tall & wide, so maybe an A-1 rather than A-3.
Cheers

I will definitely post my experiences here, but since my Soundlab speakers are in the process of being built, it won't be before the end of August, before I can post here concerning these amps and Soundlab speakers.

Tekunda, feel free to contact me once your Soundlab speakers are broken in, I have tweaks that will help performance.

Have had the CAT SL-1 for years, have had the Jadis JA-80 for years.
Also had the chance to listen to the Jadis JA-200, and the JL-1 CAT mono's.
I cannot comment on the other US amps. but i can say with full confidence that entering the Atma-Sphere MA-2 mkII in my system has turned my audiophile world upside down.
I experience an openness and lifelike sound which is hardly to describe in technical terms.
the Jadis and CAT amps are very good mind you.
but compared i experience a much wider frequency, and a much more open sound with the MA-2's. Another thing is the drama and the speed of the amps which is staggering.
I partner my MA-2's with a Cello Encore preamp, and listen to LP only.
The MA-2 is the most reliable amp ever had in my 25 years of listening to music.
Use them balanced in any case.
I use the Voce Divina speaker system for some 6 years now.

regards and enjoy the music !
