…M1 monoblock MOS-FET amplifiers…garnered my vote for best sound. …Driving Wilson WATTs/Puppies through Purist Audio Design cables and resting on Microscan amplifier supports,…amplifiers sounded superb, with tight, bottomless bass, effortless dynamics, and spacious soundstage. I have never heard the WATTs/Puppies sound so good.
One of the star performances with the 100-watt class A hybrid monoblock model M1 and M2, a class A/AB 200-watt model. The company also unveiled a preamplifier, L1
…two power amplifiers were the first of the ‘must hears’ that came to my attention, the M1 being a 100W class A hybrid monoblock (one 6DJ8 in the second stage) capable of handling loads down to 1 Ohm; the M2 is a class A/AB 200 watter based on the M1 concept. Neither employs overall feedback. Both are firmly of the built-to-last school, industrial but bomb-proof. The L1 is the forthcoming pre-amp, with seven inputs and a built-in remote facility for use with these monoblocks.
For the first time at the High-End Show, the M1s sounded so good that they had the best sound at the show and I think it was the best sound ever!!! …Regarding the speakers, it was the best the Watt Puppies have ever sounded; the combination of the M1 amplifiers and the Watts are the best!
