Curious to hear from anyone who has compared the Prometheus directly with Merrill's Veritas or with the Acoustic Imagery Atsahs....or with the Mola Mola Kaluga for that matter. Thanks.

I have try most of the major brand and none of them have been able to do what the Veritas has done for me, please call Merrill to check them out. Excellent product from one of the nice person that I have ever met.Juan

I was curious about the Prometheus because, unlike the Merrill or Acoustic Imagery amps, the Prometheus has a custom linear power supply by David Reich, and only uses the Hypex/NC1200 amplifier board. Did you happen to hear the Prometheus amps when you were looking and, if so, how do you think they compare with Merrill's Veritas? Thanks

I have try most of the major brand of amps from digital to to A&B to monoblocks, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that none of them has been able to provide my musical need, that search ended when I contact my dear friend Merrill. I ask him if he would be willing to send me a pair of veritas monoblocks and he agree, my first impression was wow, soundstage deep deep base with total control of my dynaudio contour 5.4 speakers musical beyond believe micro details and every thing that an audiophile can ask for is there and more. I highly recommend that you listen to the Christine pre- amp from Merrill, it is and amazing piece of equipment, beautiful sound among the best of the best, good lock with your veritas I know you are going to love them Best regards Juan.

I need to conduct some more testing, but my initial impression and observations between the Magtech and the Veritas are that (1) the Veritas is quieter--both the unit itself and through the speakers. There's no tube hiss from my Audio Research Ref5SE. (2) The Veritas may be a hair more detailed with slightly better imaging. (3) The Veritas is more forward in the mids and highs and thus brighter. It's interesting that both amps are typically described as neutral because the Magtech sounds more laid back to me. As of now, I prefer the Magtech but will report back after more listening.

It takes a decent amount of time before the party gets started...

I contact Merrill about my friend and I experience listening to the Veritas, and this is what he told me, would you like to try the Christine Reference P- amp. And I said yes please. I install it on my system, and the only thing that I can tell is Wow, it is like having a live concert on your own private living room, this the most honest way that I describe the sound that I'm hearing honest to god. limniscate if you have any question in regard to the Veritas monoblocks or the Christine P-amp,please let me know I will be glad to talk to, good lock with the Veritas best regards Juan.

There just wasn't enough difference to justify switching. After more thorough testing, the Magtech and Veritas actually sounded very similar. The Veritas should have been broken in since they were a demo pair.
