I ran it with the ref 3...more solid state sounding then most solid state amps...hybrids suck, especially with 6h3o tubes in them.

The Apogee's need lots of power and the amp was working hard but I thought it sounded great and I'm not an ARC fan. I have not heard it in any other systems.

The conspicuous absence of a review speaks volumes...the HD220 will soon go the way of the Do Do!!
