Longtime A'goner here, and I generally just lurk, but I feel compelled to defend the LSA 350 GaN amp. I've only had it for a few days and it is far from broken in, but it is a spectacular unit. I purchased it after considering a wide range of amps to replace my Parasound Halo A21 which bit the dust after 15 years of service. the GaN sent my otherwise awesome Wyred4Sound SX-1000R's to my HT room. ASR has its uses, but it is far from Holy Writ. They clearly received a faulty unit. I can only comment on mine, and it sounds superb.
LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier
Just got mine last week. After 24 hours of play all I can say is that this is not your father's class D amplifier. There is not one thing about its sound that reminds me of the class D gremlins that I do not like. The low end filled in and now has deep impact, the midrange is the love child of a beautiful tube and clean hybrid amp - just gorgeous. Highs are very clean and extended. Spatial cues are top notch. My system has had some damn good tube and solid state amps in it before and it has never sounded this good. I am blown away with the quality of sound coming from class D amplification at this price point.
This 300 wpc amplifier is a real winner.....
