Agreed 1000%. People will continue to denigrate it because it isn't some behemoth looking amp. But, when you live with one for a while, and optimize it with cables, source, etc. boy oh boy, it can run with some pretty darn good gear costing a lot more.
I think we are all saying the same thing with different words. Curiously, I dont like behemoth amps myself.
I think they are creating a new niche…audiophile lifestyle. this will go a lot further in the future and by others too. Be careful what you wish for as the Linn Xact is more in keeping where the future is…The Speaker IS the source. Phantom is far along that way, as is the Anatta!
