| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k The current crop of Mola Mola amplifiers are not old technology. They represent up to five generations beyond even the NCore module. The outlying circuitry is also unique to Mola Mola. Regardless of class of operation, they sound fantastic! | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k The two best integrated amps I've heard at that general price point are the: Audionet Watt ($18,800) and the Mola Mola Kula ($15,055).

| BW 801 D4 or BW 802 D4 + 2 subs May I suggest that you go to the next step above B&W. The engineer responsible for most of the finest technologies at B&W left when B&W was sold and eventually formed (with a partner) Vivid Audio. Vivid has refined these technologies a... | |
