My impressions are the polar opposite of what a couple people have said above. I owned W10 monos for a few years and thought they were good but a little bit on the lean side. It felt as though Sim were trying to take on Krell at that time. Since then, I’ve heard the 860A both V1 and V2 and also owned the W5.3SE. I find newer SimAudio to be more fleshed out, a little warmer through the mids, less hard on the top end, and just altogether better than the older W10.
I can't talk to their preamps as I've never owned one.
To each his own.
