Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?


He raved about the Hurricane in the latest TAS.
Anyone with long term experience care to comment?

I think Cwlondon is on to something - HP must own a part of all the companies that receive rave reviews. I just don't understand why he picks stock in such small companies rather than some of the very few Hi-End companies with substantial value like Krell ,Levinson, Wilson or Martin Logan. As ASL dealers last time we checked with our Antique Sound Lab distributor he was unaware of this connection. We heard the Hurricane monos at CES and promptly ordered 6 pairs-and and we have 3 pair of Hurricanes and two pair of ASL Tulip's arriving next week.The Hurricanes are a world class bargain.
I must say....I truly believe that HP has nothing to do with this (or any other) company. I have seen and read great reviews from him on products from companies like ARC or Infinity praising a product. Then he will come back later to give a less then stellar review on another product from the same company.
I believe that HP offers to us a candid and honest review of audio products in a most interesting manor. HP posses, IMHO, a great memory, good ears, and a great ability to communicate his thoughts and opinions to paper.

I have just received my ASL Hurricane monos and they are an unbelievable combination with the Pipedreams speakers I am using. The ASL's replace a much more expensive amplifier.
Go look at http://www.high-endaudio.com/index_ac.html and look under the recommended amplifiers and you will see another view on these amps. Seems like even if Harry might have got a wee bit excited on this one, he has some justification.
Judesonic....Good show...ENJOY! I am waiting for mine....
Did you have a difficult time in biasing them?
