Who has seen this equipment before?


For the last several months, there have been items described as Denon "Reference" equipment popping up this site. I have never seen any of this equipment before, nor have I read a review, but it certainly seems to be moving out. Any clues? Anybody heard this gear?

Just curious, for what it's worth.

Will somebody please buy this amp so we don't have to see that silly ad anymore.
Hi Vince - I have heard the Denon S1 series monoblock set including the pre-amp. You know what level I'm at, so belive me when I say that this set is really good!!! The finish is also among the best I have ever seen - especially on the monoblocks. Compared to my TacT Millenium the sound is a litle to the dark side but still with the same amount of details. The dynamics are great and there is more power than you will ever need for "normal" speakers. The bass is a litle to boomy compared to the TacT - but compared with other analog amps I would say it's amont the higher reference class... If I saw them at a good price here in Denmark I would seriously considder purchasing them...
Thanks for the feedback all. The seller of the amps forwarded some additional information about the product line that interesting as well.
Don't be fooled by the Denon name...they definitely took the Luxman approach and made some very high-end, not mass marketed gear. There's no doubt in my mind that those pieces are quality. How they sound is subjective, but I'm sure they compare favorably in their price range. I think the pieces date back to the earlier 90s, so the technology should hold up on all units except the DAC...that's a bit dated.
