I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
@mapman I had the Mivera amps.I don't know much about the Bel Canto Ref 1000, but I did see comments on Stereophile that said this:"This latest version of Bel Canto's e.One Ref1000M monoblock offers very high power from its diminutive chassis. It ...
