Have owned the Acurus A250 power amp and L10 pre amp for several years and have been very happy. Build Quality is excellent, plenty of power for quick tansients and easy and non fatiguing to listen to. I believe that is makes a better amp for rock, acoustic and jazz versus clasical, not the last word in detail. I don't believe the amp is overly bright in my system. Acurus, Enery, rega and transparent.
Opinions on Acurus equipment
Acurus seems to get a lot of respect in small circles, but I have not found much in the larger market. I saw one post where a guy rated Acurus with Bryston and CJ and above the Audio Refinement Complete. I'm curious to hear what people here think of there line of two channel equipment, and if poeple think for the used price it's a steal. Thanks
