My experience was that its performance depends very much on the speakers it is attached to. Anything requiring a lot of power or current will not be a good match What is the rest of your system? Desktop Focal Electra 1007S speakers, 89dB. Need the amp for classical and jazz, listening on very low level at night time. Unfortunately distributor/retailer does not exist in Melbourne.

I have bad experience buying an amp without audition. Once I bought an amp Yamaha RS300 based on hundreds positive reviews. It was resold next day because clinical sound I do not like. Since that I am afraid to buy amps without audition. Smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distributor will be in Melbourne for the SNA Hi Fi show. Give him a call and see whether he can accommodate something. Also Oto is in another league compared to Yamaha. If I were buying an integrated at the moment it would be right up there. The sound is anything but clinical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea. I do not want to buy new one because that could be wasting money and I am not able to audit it to make final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
