It’s a great sounding amp at a great price, but has high gain and can be difficult to match with speakers and preamp. There are a few threads about this, including a current one. They were originally released at $1299, and at that price a long time TAS recommended amp, then closed out at $499, usually $350 - $400 used now. Often a great match with a passive pre, and my Freya S is adjustable and can be used active or passive with a few gain settings. Both my speakers are about 84db sensitivity...I had owned and sold a few before, always liked them...but in this system it is an outstanding amp at a great price and a definite keeper...and it's small and runs cool, so great for office/desktop...
