i tried these monoblocks over a weekend, I have to stress that these amps were brand new so no break-in yet AND they weren't run in balanced mode. I felt the drive was definitely lacking at low volumes and even in higher volumes it was slightly relaxed. Not an overwhelming gimme at first listen.
But the more I listened the more I enjoyed, these amps have a tonality that i can only describe as delicious, ridiculous i know but that's what leapt to mind. The sound was so sweet and so delectable. i totally loved it. the soundstage was wider as well.
I was using this with the JR Capri btw, another sweet thing. i think you need to get both pre and power amp to fully appreciate it.
I'm in a quandry now, do i get the plinius or the jeff rowland? These two amps do their lovemaking in distinctly different ways. Too gross to describe here : )
