Excellent comments and response.
poor musical communication
I heard the amp at AXPONA. Going from room to room, it's sometimes hard to keep up with what room you're in. I would walk out of many after a few minutes of listening. After about a minute of hearing this amp, I could not believe my ears, and stayed for quite a stretch of time. I definitely was hearing some of the best "musical communication" I have ever heard from an amplifier.
