Are the sonic benefits of these and similiar high end players realized through a mid-fi system. Would you mate with a top integrated and say 3K speakers?

I have an opportunity to purchase one of these amps but don't know anything about them. Can anyone here provide any information on this amp. Personal experience would be best. Thanks.

Have what until today was a perfectly functioning Cinenova 5.

John,
Do you ever regret the elimination of your Mark Levinson 20.6 amps? These are debatably one of the finest amps ever produced by Levinson from there Class A sound to the impeccable build quality. For instance, compare the ultra high end Gryphon Antileon Signature Mono which is pure Class A as well.

I happen to be a proud and highly satisfied owner of several of Simaudio's latest Evolution Series fully differential components, i.e., the W-8 dual-mono power amplifier; the P-8 dual-mono preamplifier; and the Andromeda Reference Balanced CD player. [My reference system also includes a Shunyata Hydra-2 (for the W-8); a Hydra-6 (for the front-end components); Induction dynamics ID1 loudspeakers; Shunyata Copperhead and Diamondback Powersnakes; two custom-wired, 20-amp, dedicated/isolated circuits; and Signal Cable Silver Resolution cabling.]
