I really like the understated look of the MSB amps. I’m sure the sound is equally impressive.
 
Looks great. Would be fantastic to do a side by side with the DAG S250.

They are “Less than 1% distortion.” What’s underwhelming?

Hi Brodric,

It all depends on the design criteria. To get low distortion numbers, global or localized negative feedback needs to be utilized. But many amp designers believe this negative feedback degrades sound quality. Measured distortion of up to 1% at rated power output is generally considered acceptable if the distortion is second or third harmonic.
