Extracts: “The amplifiers faithfully reflect differences in miking, mixing and performance style…” “Their presentations have lifelike fullness of color, three-dimensional body and dynamics expressiveness from the softest passages to the loudest ones…” “It happens to be a sound I am crazy about…” “Vive la France!”
