"This is a very expensive stereo power amplifier, but your money buys you no less than 39kg of Norwegian heavy metal with a claimed 2x 250W RMS per channel of Class AB power into 8 ohms, 2x 380W into 4 ohms, 2x 625W into 2 ohms and 2x 1,100W into 1. It's not the world's most attractively styled hi-fi product, but you can't argue with its immense power and load driving ability, allied to a surprisingly fine sound that's as translucent as a Nordic freshwater spring."
